It’s November and we’re coming at you with a brand-new episode of Lessons in Leadership!

Today’s guest has been long-awaited and rightly so, as he is known for pushing the limits, challenging the status quo, and taking unconventional approaches to developing his team- and just about everything in life.

His strong-will convictions and confidence continue to set him apart from his peers.

Joining us today on Lessons in Leadership is Excel Fitness NWA/MO Regional Manager, Caleb Ortega.

Caleb talks coming from a line of competitors, making life-changing decisions, and finding balance through it all.

With a background in finance and computer science, this guest is a rare find and absolute asset to our team.

He can run circles around you in Excel and does so without ever touching his mouse.

His ability to forecast numbers, highlight trends, analyze the meaning, and present his findings is unprecedented and he has undoubtedly helped to change the landscape of how we make decisions as a company today.

You can typically find him tucked away in his office, banging out reports for our company which is why I’m so very excited to have him here with me today.

I am very happy to welcome Excel Fitness Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, Joseph Cancelliere, better known as Joe C. to Lessons in Leadership!
