Connect the Dots - Lead the Way

Send us Fan Mail I'll be honest I didn't realize until I started recording this episode how fired up I would get. This episode is a bit longer but it's a subject close to my heart. I am a recovering perfectionist. But if you are striving for that perfect 10, you will end up missing out on all that comes after 10.  Brene' Brown says, "Healthy striving is self-focused: How c...

Send us Fan Mail A year and a half ago, we moved to FL. While I didn't have to change jobs since I was a remote employee already, Jay did.
