                                          Gail Kasper is a two-time TEDx Speaker, she was a semi-finalist to be on The Apprentice, along with being a TV Host, an author, producer, and SO. MUCH. MORE!

                                          We discuss her recent TEDx talk: "FIRE: Inside The Soul Of A Risk Taker”.

                                          Gail is the creator of SAD-T™ (Systematic Attitude Development-Technique™), a technique that you utilized to get logical and take steps in your life.

                                          We also spoke about the power of Logic and how that is the formula to getting ourselves back on track and getting "unstuck" in life. 

                                          I don’t know if you’ve ever felt under appreciated in the workspace, or even in a relationship! I know I have. Gail is here to help us create a sweet balance of emotions vs logic. What’s the secret sauce?
