On the contrary, we brought him on to help us dismantle some leadership BS.\nDo leaders wield influence? Yes. Are they held to a higher standard? Yeah. Are they accountable to people other than themselves? Absolutely. And it\u2019s for these reasons that we\u2019re talking to Gunnar about the need to set expectations and boundaries around time, create routines and habits to juggle life and work, and be authentic in a world that wants to pin you with a label.\nWe also discuss:\n\nWhy he\u2019s okay being called a \u201cpersonal trainer\u201d (when many in coaching aren\u2019t)\n\n\nThe difference between living in Hollywood and \u201cacting Hollywood\u201d\n\n\nHow to grade yourself on your use of different communication platforms\n\n\nCommunication as a way to clarify boundaries and set expectations\n\nGunnar is a Beverly Hills-based personal trainer whose clients include celebrities, professional athletes, and everyday people.
