Gene sits down with Ryan Miller a  public speaker, business performance coach  and author. Ryan and his wife were survivors of the 2017  Las Vegas Mass shooting where  59 people were killed and over 500 were  injured. This event  caused him to question
 his views toward work  and his business performance coaching. This introspection  led to his  theory of How To Unlock The Greatness Within  You. 

 The Key  principle is that we  were all created by God for a  specific plan.   must know who you are. To unearth that plan  you must have a purpose that excites  and creates passion within you and you must  also  possess the  principle of "What Do I Stand For "  from an ethical standpoint. 

Ryan recently released a book called  "Wounds"  where he writes in greater detail 
how hurt, heartache and tragedy  can actually help a CEO  to greatness.  Dont miss this show!
