On this episode of Lead Council Podcast, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with my longtime friend and mentor, Herb Auger, who has been running a successful personal injury law firm in North and South Carolina for nearly 30 years. We reminisced about our early days in the legal field, how we met, and the journey that led Herb to where he is today. Listen in as we discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, the value of an accounting degree, and the challenges of working in North Carolina's unique legal landscape.

Herb and I also explored the power of experiences over physical possessions and how this mindset has changed our outlook on life. We reflected on the conversations that inspired us to prioritize experiences and how we can all benefit from taking some slack time to let our brains work through problems. Tune in to hear about Herb's new rule to do something different every six weeks and the joy he finds in spending his money on experiences like camper vans and trips to new places.

Finally, we discussed the impact that discipline and intense exercise has on our lives and how a simple comment can change the trajectory of someone's life. We shared our own stories about how our commitment to intense exercise has helped us grow emotionally and professionally. Join us as we dive into the power of the average 5, the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people, and how experiences over physical possessions can shape our lives.
