What's Your 1 THING?
by Jordan Hiller
It's not too late to start over
About this podcast
What’s Your 1 THING? is where personal development meets social experiment. Each week, I take on one self-improvement challenge, record the chaos, and see what actually sticks.
The show blends storytelling, reflection, and humor — imagine a podcast, a diary, and a science project had a baby. It’s equal parts insight and entertainment, because growth doesn’t have to be so serious.
Come along, Alice — let’s tumble down the rabbit hole together through experiments, games, and conversations.
