167 The One with John Fenton
Scaling UP! Nation, it\u2019s hard to run your life. Everyone expects the most from you, and you expect the most out of yourself. This leaves most of us running faster and faster until we run out of gas. We all need to take time to get gas and make sure we take care of ourselves before we take care of everything else. The problem is, we don\u2019t. Stave yourself too long without that needed gas, and you may not have the option of refueling.
My lab partner in today\u2019s episode is John Fenton, the \u201cCEO Sensei.\u201d John J Fenton is a Certified Success Principles\u2122 Trainer, an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and leading authority in Leadership.
