In this deeply personal episode, I step away from the usual sales training to reflect on something much more profound: the value of time. After losing a close friend’s mother to unexpected cancer, I’ve been reminded how fragile and fleeting life can be. This episode is an honest and vulnerable look at how loss has made me re-evaluate what truly matters—our relationships, our purpose, and how we spend the limited time we have.
Join me as I share my raw thoughts on life, love, and the importance of living fully. It’s a conversation about making the most of every moment, both in business and in life. This isn’t just about sales—it’s about how we connect with people, cherish our time, and leave a lasting impact.
If you’ve ever wondered about what it really means to live a meaningful life, this episode is for you.
