For this episode of The Rattling Good Life Podcast, we have Justin Patton. Justin is a leadership and executive coach, he's an author, a speaker, and an old farm boy. Justin takes some time today to share with me about what life was like growing up, how losing his dad completely changed his life, and what processing that sort of life event looked like for him. After being let go from a job he loved, he took a few steps to take everything he had learned, and turn it into the successful business he has today.
