  • Every Challenge You Face In Life Can Be Your Advantage To Win X Trapper Goldsmith

    This week on the show, I’m joined by former professional golfer and now wealth management consultant trapper goldsmith.

    I met trapper a few years ago in Calgary at a bookstore where we had a coffee and talked about different topics. But one of the things that caught my attention was his story. His golf career ended not really by his choice, but because an internal S health issue led him down a different path. He had all right to be angry and to be bitter if he wanted to. But he chooses to find the positive advantages amid a life-altering act.

    A great story of perseverance, purpose, passion and perspective. This is an episode I believe you’ll truly enjoy. Check out this week's episode with trapper goldsmith.
