In this episode, I chat with Nick Loise, a seasoned sales leader, about the idea of “living stoked” by seizing life's opportunities. We talk about his personal journey, including his battle with prostate cancer, which reshaped his priorities. Nick shares insights on fostering inclusivity in the corporate world, challenging sales stereotypes through empathy and authenticity. We explore the importance of work-life balance and how technology, particularly AI, is transforming sales strategies.
