We receive advice constantly.

Following the right advice can change our lives.

So how do we know whose advice is worth taking?

John Lindsey intuitively knew the answer from a young age. And that allowed him to make two critical decisions: (1) not following his parents’ financial advice, and (2) listening when his technology adept partners pushed him out of the Product Team and into Sales.

John’s ability to see his own talent and to listen when others are the experts is a hallmark of his leadership style and has allowed him to build a portfolio of successful businesses across health, technology and professional services fields.
