As much as we talk about company building and technology trends on this podcast, one of the most essential aspects of entrepreneurship is maintaining your health. High performance comes first form taking care of your body, mind, and lifestyle to drive clear decision making.

He has coached many high performers in their jobs and helped them improve even further by focusing on their health.
