Why is it important to set ambitious goals?

Lara Morgan, founder of Pacific Direct

Lara Morgan, founder of Pacific Direct, speaking with podcast host Aleksandra King on The BEYOND Podcast. Lara Morgan says people have to have goals and asks why anyone would have average ones, since aiming for the moon might land them on the stars.

Aleksandra King has put it to Lara Morgan that the way she talks to herself is harsh. Morgan answers with goals, with the question of why anybody would have an average one, and with a household joke about anyone who misses the podium.

Morgan came 10th in the world in triathlon, and she has had to sleep in the tree house herself. A missed podium, she goes on, is something to recover from, by finding a different way and being better next time.
