“If you’re not growing, you’re dying. And for many years, I didn’t quite comprehend what that really meant. I understood, but I’m not growing. I’m going the other way. I get it. But the real point of that verse, in my opinion, is if I’m not growing, I’m not experiencing what I should be experiencing in life.” Markus Kaulius talks about growth on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“What if you started to play a bigger game in your life? What would that look like if you were going to level up a good level up, what would that look like? I truly believe everybody has those answers inside of them or you can turn to some people close to you who have reached higher levels of success and ask them, what are some of the habits that you do?” Playing a bigger game with Markus Kaulius on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“Growth is the fun part of life. It’s challenging myself. It’s trying to become someone better in the fulfillment that I get from knowing that I am better today than I was yesterday. I’m way better than I was a week ago. I’m way better than the way, way better than I was a year ago. And that growth is so exciting.” Markus Kaulius talks about finding excitement in personal and professional growth on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
