Welcome To The IDGAF Club

Single Minded is a podcast about reconnecting to who you are and the world around you. It's for independent thinkers who are forging their own paths in life and for those who are sick of the societal pressure towards settling down and being 'successful' at any cost. Life is a marathon, not a sprint, it's hard and long. We want to slow down and focus on what really matters: our relationships.&nbsp;
