  • Overlapping Traits (to Success) of Athletes and Leadership

    Great podcast! Perfect practical examples of overlapping traits between Athletes and Leadership in Business. Loved Episode 439 with Jeremy Zoch and his points about mindset, gratitude, flexibility and more. Such a great parallel between athletic and business performances, especially since change is a constant in life and work! Trike On!
