Reflections with Kris Sykes and Brian Goldsack
This episode of the Success Fundamentals Podcast features reflections from your hosts, Brian Goldsack and Kristopher Sykes. They give a shout out to their international followers, especially the listeners from Zambia and Mexico. Brian and Kris share the profound impact this news has on them and reflect on what it truly means to be happy.
Some people search for happiness in material things while others find happiness in the here and now. However, materialism doesn't always have to be vilified. Material things represent hard work and the success that comes after it.
But, on the flip side, even the greatest human wealth becomes insignificant with the passage of time. Brian and Kris ruminate on the intersections of fame and power and how the desire for these is more common than many people would like to admit.
