“We’re not just thought leaders, we’re practice leaders. We practice what we teach. So you have to live it.”
Some podcasts have so many nuggets of truth that you commit to listening more than once. Geoff and Bryan’s conversation is one of these.
Geoff has a system for honing in on the one thing that will bring about the best results.
He walks Bryan through the exact sequence of questions and thoughts that will scale-up Bryan’s Make the Leap book project. And in the process, he lays out a path for everyone looking to master their time and resources.
