Kris Tyte and Sean Snodgrass venture into the world of resolutions in today’s deep and reflective episode. They tackle questions like: Why is it so hard? Why do we fail so often?

Some may find new years resolutions as corny or pointless but when it comes down to habits, addiction, personal agency, and a regain of control …it might have more impact then you think.
