In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we travel back to 1937 to meet Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich — one of the most influential and some might say, controversial self-help books ever written.
Napoleon invited me to sit down with him as he shared his secret to becoming a successful self-help guru. He encouraged me to share these important lessons with you, too.
