SHOW NOTES: 

It’s January. You promised yourself during the holidays that you would lose weight and get healthy in the New Year. You were so excited to start 2022 off right! For a week, you rocked it, but then it got tough. After a while, you set into your old ways and gave up on your New Year’s Resolution. 
.
If this resonates with you, then this podcast episode is for YOU! 
.
We've all been there. I bought into the lie that hitting a certain number on the scale = good health for years.
.
Listen to this conversation with Jude Sullivan and me as he demystifies what true health is and how you can have an incredible year! Enjoy this episode!

SHOW NOTES:

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Sean Carter, the President, and CEO of NEACH.  Not only do we talk about his story and business, but we talk about what it actually means to be a CEO.  Unfortunately, Hollywood, our culture, and even business schools get the true picture of what it means to be a business leader wrong.  In this episode, Sean explains.  Enjoy!

SHOW NOTES:

Questions can change our lives.  Robert Berry has seen that play out time and time again.  Not only in his life but in the lives of his clients. 
.
I was particularly interested in this episode since I am intrigued with questions too.  Deep questions?  Sure.  But also questions that help us audit our lives.  According to Robert, life is all about auditing - asking questions, and reflecting on what's happening.
.
My favorite parts of this episode are when Robert shares a horrifying hospital story (fascinating how the leadership of this organization dealt with this issue), our conversation around how to ask better questions, and the processes that Robert sets up to help his clients succeed.
