Does your current identity reflect who you truly are?

Marc worked in sales and often used alcohol to connect with colleagues and clients. As he got closer to his forties, he noticed that it took him longer to recover from hangovers. At that point, he realized he needed to make healthier choices. Since his last conversation with Annie on the podcast, Marc has left his sales career to focus on building a life outside work. He is now prioritizing his family, giving back to his community, and embracing a healthier lifestyle. In this "Where Are They Now" episode, Marc joins Hayley to share the tools and mindset shifts that helped him rediscover his energy and motivation.
