Welcome to the March 2025 highlights of the Innovator's Mindset podcast.

George Couros begins this month-end highlight with a reflection on a recent blog post about how non-decisions make his life so much easier. There are little things that Couros decides once: putting clothes out for his workout, not having junk food in the house, and getting content out on a regular schedule. All of these things help set Couros up for success by eliminating decisions. Share one thing you do to help you set yourself up for success - add your thoughts to the comment below!
