Here are a few highlights:
- Jared talks about his journey and experience being a podcast host. “Starting a podcast has been a lot of fun, but it's [also] been a humbling experience,” he shares. “Learning how to do anything new is always a little bit difficult, but it’s a lot more challenging when you're doing it on a public stage where your lack of experience and skill is impossible to hide.”
- Delap has served owners — of businesses and real estate — since 1933. Success That Lasts seeks to support owner wellness and family flourishing by interviewing experts and offering insights to positively impact listeners, their families, and their businesses — financially and beyond.
- “Stillness is to be steady while the world around us spins; to act without frenzy; to hear only what needs to be heard,” Jared quotes. He briefly describes the role that stillness plays in the pursuit of happiness.
- Jared believes stillness can be an intentional antidote to a stressful and busy life. However, it should not be an excuse to withdraw from the affairs of the world; in fact, it’s a tool that lets you do more good for more people in your personal life and in business.
- How can you implement stillness or mindfulness in your life? Jared offers up an easy-to-follow list: start journaling, take walks outside, stop watching the news, seek solitude, read more, worry less.
