You’re Not Obligated to Be the Person You Were a Minute Ago with Rich Olson

Most of us are running away from a version of ourselves we don't like, but very few of us have the courage to actually kill that old version and start over. Rich Olson joined me in the studio to talk about the brutal reality of transformation, from losing 150 pounds to navigating a total loss of community and career during a divorce. This conversation isn't about tips and tricks; it's about the frequency you live at and the hard decisions required to lead your family and your business with authenticity. Let’s Chat: 1. How changing your physical and mental self forces you to change your social circle and proximity. 2. Why a "shallow why" will fail you when things get difficult. 3. The impact of showing your children that it is okay to not be okay. 4. Leading in business by owning your failures Full episode available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
