GrowthDay is a new community for personal development and growth. Created and hosted by Brendon Burchard. Every month has a different theme that the training is focused around. In February, the theme was confidence.

“The gifts that have brought you to where you have arrived are the gifts that will move you forward.” — Jenna Kutcher on GrowthDay.
