What happens when you reach the top of your own personal mountain? Achieve a long held goal? When your dream becomes reality? How does that feel, and more importantly, what comes next? These are some of the questions I'll be exploring with my guests in Season 4 of On the Sofa with Rouge. I'll talk to people who have set out to achieve something, and, sometimes against the odds, have succeeded. Series 4 is called, WTF! - Wow, That's Fantastic! But I'm also interested in what happens next, what does it mean to finally achieve that milestone, to reach that summit, then what? Is it all downhill from there? What happens if you achieve your goal at a young age? Perhaps that means you're the type of person that can't simply lie back and enjoy the fruits of success, but has to keep setting out for a new peak, a new challenge, an even bigger mountain to conquer? This podcast will explore some of the implications which flow from success, in whatever field. Listen out for WTF - coming soon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
