  • Hey everyone, Molly here.

  • When I agreed to come on as the new host of Work Life, I was terrified.

  • But I was also excited to learn from our amazing guests

  • and to share insights that could help all of you, our listeners.

  • One of my favorite takeaways so far came from Kaya Henderson, an iconic leader

  • who told me that leadership is really all about listening and co-creating success with your community.

  • So I have a request for you.

  • Please fill out the Work Life audience survey.

  • It's quick, it's easy, and it's linked in the description for this week's episode.

  • And it'll help us all make this show the best it can be.

  • Thanks for listening to Work Life.

  • I know the gym's not meant to be easy.

  • Man, in winter, doing it in the dark is hard.

  • Doing it alone is hard.

  • Doing it cold is hard.

  • Doing it when you don't want to is hard.

  • Even doing it when you do is hard.

  • Doing it when it's too early for this is hard.

  • Doing it when there's every reason not to is hard.

  • Doing it again and again and again is hard.
