Half Episode on Managing the Holidays as a High Achiever...

Success at Success Half Episodes are 1 on 1 Chats with Kyle Mauch and Trevor Mauch. This week we chat about Kyle's time at NextCon16 with Guy Kawasaki and Steve Wozniak, Trevor's management retreat strategy, effects of smiling and too much time looking at a screen, organizing work and personal life, employee management and how to manage life through the holidays as a high achiever.

Keep in mind that we may be talking about our businesses, but all of this can be applied to being an athlete or anything else as well. Think about our talking points as if we're talking about your career field and see how you can apply key points to your own life.

"It's really hard to lead other people if you can't figure your own shit out first." - Trevor Mauch
