Podcast – Improve your Exercise Habit using The Tiny Habits Method with Stanford Behavior Expert, BJ Fogg

By learning and putting good new habits into place, we become happier, attract quality people, and our lives just all-around feel better! If that’s something you’re looking for, then you’re going to be obsessed with my guest today: BJ Fogg (author of Tiny Habits, professor at Stanford University, and founder of The Behavior Design Lab).
