Brian is the CEO of Paytient, think a line of credit for medical expenses.

Galon didn't take a traditional route to corporate consulting. He spent years as a minister of spiritual direction and relationship counseling. Through that experience and training, he is now helping individuals and businesses reach their full potential.

If your company is going through conflict, give Galon a call.

Thanks for listening.

For those loyal listeners, thank you for tuning in each week during the first season. We've got some great guests lined up in 2020. I want to give you a heads up; I was under the weather for this interview, so my apologies in advance.
