#187: The Power Of Telling The Truth (& Why It Always Wins)

#187: Welcome back to Catch The Zenith, the podcast where I document my journey to get better in life and business. Today, we’ve got another episode of Zenith Reflections—the format where I comment on some of my most interesting posts from the week on X. 

Get ready to learn why telling the truth can lead to the greatest adventure in life, why letting go of things outside your control can improve your well-being, why challenging your own views by confronting opposing opinions can broaden your perspective, plus a lot more…

If you’re new here, I’m Nicola—I’m currently building an AI startup while also writing my master’s thesis in startup entrepreneurship. Please share and enjoy!
