If you've ever felt like your board is holding you back—or worse, like you're stuck asking for permission to lead the organization you're working so hard to grow, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined by Sabrina Walker Hernandez, founder of Building Better Boards, to dig into why so many nonprofit CEOs get stuck parenting their boards — and how to break free from the cycle.Sabrina's lived it from all sides: she's run a thriving nonprofit, serves on five boards, and is not afraid to name what's happening behind closed doors. We talk about board bullies (yep, they exist), permission culture, burnt-out executive directors, and what happens when you stop begging and start leading with confidence. If you've been stuck in the cycle of over-explaining, over-prepping, or just over-it, this one will remind you: you're more powerful than you think.Topics:Why recruiting "warm bodies" will keep you stuckThe unspoken truth about board bullies (and how to reset the power dynamic)How to onboard, train, and lead your board with authorityWhat to do when your board isn't producing (and how to fix it)Why asking for board approval on everything is slowing you downWhy professional development isn't a luxury—it's essentialWhy your board is actually waiting for you to take the leadFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

That one question shaped their next seven years—and changed their lives forever.You'll hear about the life skills it takes to truly live off the land, what it means to hunt your own food after growing up vegetarian, and why boredom might be one of the greatest teachers of all.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Tariffs are back. The EV transition is shaky. Autonomous vehicles are still a question mark. The auto industry is staring down a future full of uncertainty, and suppliers are stuck in the middle of it all.In this episode, Paul Eichenberg returns to break down the three biggest shifts shaking up the supply chain: the move away from globalization, the messy reality of electrification, and the evolving regulatory landscape for autonomy.For decades, global supply chains were the name of the game—companies optimized for low-cost country sourcing, suppliers expanded internationally, and the industry embraced efficiency on a global scale.But now? Tariffs and shifting trade policies are forcing a hard pivot to regionalization. Suddenly, localization isn't just a buzzword—it's a necessity. Suppliers that haven't adjusted are running out of time.Then there's EVs—what was once an unstoppable movement is now facing resistance. Sure, automakers have committed to an electric future, but consumer adoption isn't moving as fast as expected. Policy shifts and market uncertainty create a volatile mix in North America, while China and Europe continue pushing full speed ahead. The big question? How long can suppliers ride the fence before going all in?And let's talk about autonomy. It's been overshadowed by EV hype and supply chain chaos, but it hasn't disappeared. If anything, it's quietly gaining momentum. With regulations starting to loosen, companies like Tesla are pushing harder than ever. The next few years could bring breakthroughs no one saw coming.So, where does this leave suppliers? According to Paul, there's no room for hesitation. The auto industry has always been at its best when its back is against the wall, and now is one of those moments. Scenario planning isn't just an option—it's survival. Transparency in the supply chain isn't just about efficiency—it's about being prepared for whatever comes next.Themes discussed in this episode:The decline of globalization and the rise of regionalization in automotive supply chainsHow tariffs and trade policies are forcing suppliers to rethink their sourcing strategiesThe uncertain future of EV adoption and the market hesitation slowing it downWhy regulatory shifts could make or break the transition to electrificationThe financial struggles of suppliers caught between ICE phase-out and EV ramp-upThe critical need for scenario planning in an industry facing constant disruptionHow political and economic polarization is reshaping global supply chainsFeatured on this episode: Name: Paul EichenbergTitle: Managing Director, Paul Eichenberg Strategic ConsultingAbout: With 25 years in the automotive industry, Paul Eichenberg has led strategy for top suppliers, including eight years as Global VP of Corporate Development & Strategy at Magna Powertrain & Magna Electronics.

Nvidia exists to serve a mission and not for the sake of perpetuating its existenceShip the Whole Cow: Nvidia found ways to package and sell hardware that it previously would have discarded; this helped it mitigate low-end market competition and insulate itself from the innovator's dilemmaComplacency kills: The enemy is not the competition, but the company falling victim to complacency – both real and imaginedJensen's keys to success:(1) He puts in more effort than his peers and (2) He has a willingness to tolerate more suffering than those around him* Greatness does not come from intelligence; it comes from character, which can only be earned from overcoming adversities and developing perseveranceHistory's greatest founders spend a lot of time teaching within their organization* Founders Thread: “If you're not spending 90% of your time teaching, then you're not doing your job.” – James Sinegal of Costco* Founders Thread – Apple is Steve Jobs with 10,000 lives* The best founders are evangelists for their companies; examples include Steve Jobs,​ Palmer Luckey​, and Sir James DysonThe Whiteboard Method: Using a whiteboard is the primary form of communication in Nvidia meetings; everyone must demonstrate their thought process in real-time, and be willing to eventually erase an idea – no matter how good it isGo Fast or Die: “You can drive great people away by making the speed of decision-making really slow. Why would great people stay in an organization where they can't get things done? They look around and say, ‘Hey, I love the mission, but I can't get my job done because the speed of decision-making is too slow.”Value of A flat organizational structure(1) Enables employees to act with more independence and (2) Filters out low-performing employees who are unaccustomed to thinking for themselvesF Your Feelings: Jensen tortures people into greatness: The quality of the work is the most important thing, not people's feelings* “I wake up every morning, look at myself in the mirror, and say: ‘You suck.'” – Jensen Huang* “I don't like giving up on people. I'd rather torture them into greatness.” – Jensen HuangThe Speed of Light in Practice:* Break down each component task of a project and assign a target time to completion for it* Assume no delays, no queues, and no downtime so that you can set the theoretical maximum, i.e. the Speed of Light* Instead of judging performance relative to your past performance or against the competition, judge yourself against the speed of light and the law of physicsTop Five Things (T5T) email* Every employee, at all levels, sends an email with the top five things that they are working on, or the top five things they are observing in the market (customer pain points, a competitor's strategy, new developments in technology, or project delays)* Each email contains five bullet points, and the first word in each bullet is an action word, such as finalize, build, or secure* Each department labels each email in the email's subject lineWinston Churchill Would have Loved Twitter/X– He limited the size of memos that his staff could send him and told them that it was “slothful” not to compress your thoughtsHenry Singleton, cofounder of Teledyne, on planning:* 1. Flexibility over rigid plans* 2. Daily steering over long-term planning* 3. Excessive planning constraints freedom of action* 4. Recognize that the world is complex and avoid counterproductive planning* 5. Be skeptical of the herdEducating the Marketplace: If you are doing something brand-new, you must spend a lot of time and resources on educating the market about your new idea or invention​ Dr. Brian Keating: Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Huberman Lab ​Fun fact #1: We didn't have accurate clocks until the 1700s. Before that, keeping time on a ship or in different time zones was nearly impossibleFun fact #2: The Gutenberg Bible was used as a standard for vision quality in the past. They would test eyesight by making people read it from a certain distance since it had a fixed font size. This was way before modern eye chartsPineal Gland (get rid of that flouride): Most animals have a pineal gland that secretes melatonin based on light. “This is the intrinsic clock-keeping mechanism of all mammalian species and reptiles.” – Huberman* Birds have thin skulls, so light can pass right through to the pineal gland* Humans are different: Our pineal gland is buried deep in the brain, so light doesn't reach it directly. Instead, light info gets passed from the eyes through a pathway to the pineal gland.Gender Symmetry: Women are more symmetrical than menEyes Are Outside Brains: Retinas, which line the back of the eyes, are part of the central nervous system and were squeezed out of the brain during early development* Eyes are the only portion of your brain that reside outside the cranial vaultHubble made two major discoveries: that the Milky Way isn't the entire universe, and that the universe is expanding“The Big Bang is not the origin of time and space, it's the origin of the first elements in the periodic table.” – BrianThe best places in the Northern Hemisphere to see spectacular nighttime views:* Yosemite High Country in August for meteor showers would be a great option* Anywhere 20-40 miles from a large city should be fine. Even in San Diego, there are two dark sky communities: Julian and Anza-Borrego DesertPanspermia—the idea that life might've come from elsewhere in the universe. Basically, genetic material could've traveled from one astronomical object to another. This is not something scientists can prove right now, especially with the lack of life evidence elsewhere​Tools for Managing Stress & Anxiety | Huberman Lab Essentials ​How breathing affects heart rate:* Inhale:* When you inhale (through the nose or mouth), the diaphragm moves down, and the lungs expand* The heart gets slightly bigger in that expanded space* This increased space causes blood to move more slowly through the heart* A group of neurons called the sinoatrial node in the heart detects the slower blood flow and sends a signal to the brain* The brain then signals the heart to speed up* A longer or more vigorous inhale will make your heart beat faster* Exhaling:* When you exhale, the diaphragm moves up, and the heart becomes smaller and more compact* Blood flows faster through the smaller heart space* The sinoatrial node detects the faster blood flow and signals the brain* The parasympathetic nervous system sends a signal back to the heart to slow down* A longer or more vigorous exhale will make your heart rate slow downThe physiological sigh: two deep inhales through the nose (no exhale in between), followed by a full exhale to the lungs empty (through the mouth) is the fastest way to calm downWhy short-term stress is good:* Pupil dilation and optical changes help enhance vision* Heart rate quickens, improving blood flow and readiness* Cognition sharpens, bringing certain brain areas online to focus better* Narrowed focus supports duration-path-outcome analysis. It allows you to evaluate your environment and decide what to do* It primes the immune system to combat bacterial or viral infectionsTool: eye dilation* Without moving your head or eyes, shift from tunnel vision to panoramic vision (see more of your surroundings)* This activates circuits in the brainstem associated with calming and reduces alertness/stress* For example: While running or cycling at max capacity or 80–90% of your maximum effort, practice dilating your gazeBest tools to modulate long-term stress:* Regular exercise (who would've thought!)* Prioritizing good sleep* Using real-time tools to manage stress response (e.g., breathing exercises)* Social connection (one of the most effective ways to combat long-term stress)​Theanine​ (L-theanine):* Recommended dose: 100–200 mg, 30–60 minutes before sleep* Benefits:* Enhances the transition into sleep and improves sleep depth.* Increases GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter* Reduces activity in the forebrain, calming thinking and ruminative systems* Stress and anxiety:* Proven to significantly increase relaxation* Shown to have a minor yet notable effect on anxiety​Tyler Cowen – Humans Are The Bottleneck to AI Progress | Dwarkesh Patel ​Cost disease and AI: Cost disease happens when wages rise across the board due to productivity gains in some industries, but sectors like healthcare or education, where productivity is harder to improve, still need to pay higher wages—making their costs go upTech diffusion is universally pretty slow: While people in the Bay Area are the smartest, most dynamic, and most ambitious, they tend to overvalue intelligenceSome kind of demoralization may materialize in the AI future: Full employment is likely to remain, but it is not clear what humans will be doing or how happy it will make us.The Risks of Progress: War should always be the main concern during a period of rapid technological progress; throughout history, when new technologies emerge, they are turned into instruments of war, and terrible things can happenPREMIUM:* ​David Deutsch: Chemical Scum that Dream of Distant Quasars | TED 2005​* ​Scott Galloway on How Stoicism Can Benefit Young Men | Daily Stoic with Ryan Holiday​* ​Mike Cernovich – Escaping Sam Altman's Techno-Slavery | Zero Hour with James Poulos​FREE:* ​Jensen Huang – Founder of Nvidia | Founders Podcast with David Senra​* ​Dr. Brian Keating: Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Huberman Lab​* ​Tools for Managing Stress & Anxiety | Huberman Lab Essentials​* ​Tyler Cowen – Humans Are The Bottleneck to AI Progress | Dwarkesh Patel​ Thank you for subscribing.

If you're still thinking to yourself that being disciplined means using force with yourself to get things done, you're really going to want to have a listen to today's episode. There are so many areas of our life that need us to be disciplined, and I think one of the most important is rest. Have you ever noticed that when you take a break, you get ill? So you start to think that you're healthier when you're busier, and slowing down is bad for you. Well, that's all tied into your nervous system and it's time to realise that you aren't actually thriving when you're in that state. So have a listen to today's episode, and start to think about whether you're truly giving your body the rest it needs.Today I'm talking about:Why hyper-independent people avoid restHow I used to rest, compared with nowThe different areas of your life that you need to be disciplined in that aren't workThe forgotten art of waiting and slowing downWhy self-diagnosis and inaccurate labels are stopping you livingComing to that thing you're avoidingYou can book a one-to-one session here, and find out more details about working with me in other ways here.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Rachel Druckenmiller to discuss how she struggled to find her own voice growing up and how events surrounding the pandemic helped her get past the fear of failure and share her voice with the world through her speaking engagements and music. She now works to help other people understand that no matter what you do or what you've accomplished, you are somebody and you are enough. Rachel Druckenmiller is a TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, and catalyst who unleashes what's possible in people and organizations.

“Are you trying to have it all? That question makes no sense. It's a stupid question. Stop asking it. Don't ask it. Do you miss your kids while you're at work? Yes, of course, I do. Everybody does. And then, you know, sometimes I don't” – Leslie KnopeThank you, Leslie Knope. I won't pose the question of having it all but here is another, similar question that a lot of us ponder.Does teacher work life balance actually exist? Honestly, probably not. What I mean is, I don't think there is a way to perfectly balance the time each day. Some days work will need more attention, some days your kids will, your spouse will, or YOU will. Even though the perfect balance may not exist, there are ways to set boundaries so that work doesn't overtake other aspects of your life and vice versa. That's what we're diving into on today's episode: how to find balance in a "Wife Teacher Mommy" life.I offer tips to help you find balance in all the roles you take on. I talk about how organization increases your balance, why being flexible and prioritizing matters, how to listen to your body and the importance of slowing down.One of the most effective ways to achieve work-life balance as a teacher is to remember that you deserve to have a life outside of work and duties. Your value doesn't go away when you leave the classroom or the house. You need your positive influence and support just as much as your students and children do. When you take time for yourself, you're able to show up better for your students, children and family. You can't pour from an empty cup.Whether you're feeling stressed out and need inspiration to find relief or just need a reminder to slow down, this episode is perfect for moms and teachers everywhere.Head over to the show notes: www.wifeteachermommy.com/podcast/find-balanceIn this episode on how to find balance as a Wife Teacher Mommy we discuss:How organization increases your overall work life balanceWhat does balancing your work life with your home life look likeHow to effectively plan and schedule your work along with you home responsibilitiesThe importance of slowing downWhy you should listen to your bodyDifferent activities you can do to reduce stress when the mental load feels like to muchResources mentioned:Wife Teacher Mommy ClubEducate and RejuvenateWife Teacher Mommy: Mentioned on Podcast Amazon List

Are you ready to finally have more time for your family and for yourself? In this episode of Private Practice Success Stories, I sat down with Samantha Taylor to talk about how she started her private practice as a way to get more balance in her life to have more time to focus on her son and create advocacy for other children like him. Samantha is the owner of Olive Speech Therapy located in Rochester, New York. She, along with her husband, have two incredible, creative, and fun-loving boys. Back in 2009, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with the dream of becoming a journalist. During that time, she welcomed her first son and his bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Needless to say, she had to quickly re-evaluate what she actually wanted to do with her life as both a mother of a Deaf child and as a professional.It was through her son and his early journey that she learned about the amazing world of speech pathology and how remarkable it could be not only for the child but the family, as well. She wanted to offer that knowledge and guidance, as well as be a shoulder to cry on and be a person to celebrate the milestones and progress with. When her son was a year and a half old, she took what felt like a leap of faith, and applied for Ithaca College's Speech-Language Pathology Master's Program and was accepted. She has worked as a pediatric SLP in a variety of settings since May 2013. In 2021, she took a (second) leap of faith and stepped into what was once just a far-off dream by opening up her own private practice. Through her experiences as not only a mother of a child who receives related services but also as a related service provider, she has learned so much about what it means to advocate for her own child and the children of others. She has learned the value of providing a safe space for people to express their fears, hopes, and dreams for their children without judgment. She has learned the importance of connecting with people not only as a professional but as a human being. In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How Samantha got started with her private practiceHow she built her first websiteWhy Samantha focuses on advocacyA typical day as a private practitioner The importance of being able to slow downWhy private practice can help prevent burnoutWhat's next for Samantha's private practiceWhen it's time to make your first hireI hope you loved this conversation with Samantha. I love how she created her private practice with balance in mind so that she has enough time for her family and herself too. SLPs and OTs are so giving. But when you give everything you have to others all the time, you burn out. Starting a private practice makes it easy for you add in time for the self-care that you need.If you want to learn more from Samantha, make sure to visit her website and follow her on Instagram. Do you want help to start a private practice so that you have more balance and time for family and self-care?

This episode of Tech Sales Insights is the last part of our conversation with Jon Festejo, Co-Founder and CEO of Salesbricks. He talks about the many possibilities of CPQ and overall software five or ten years from now. Jon also shares a few of his favorite sales tools to use with Salesbricks to add more efficiency and produce more results. HIGHLIGHTSPossible changes to CPQ five years downWhy it's CPQ and not CQPOther sales tools Jon uses QUOTESHow software will be trained for the future - Jon: "In software, we'll be doing a better job in figuring out what that right moment is to go upsell your customer. Because in sales, timing is everything. Time also kills all deals and so the software will learn how to go compete and figure out when it is the right time for you to actually visit the customer."Software will eventually do a better job on its own- Jon: "Today in software sales technology, it's human first and then tools that help them augment and make their jobs a little bit easier. But there's now a tipping point and crossing the chasm where it's going to be technology first and then you apply a human organization to augment that and add additional value." Find out more about Jon in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-festejo-59233b23/Website: https://www.salesbricks.com/Send in a voice message to us: https://anchor.fm/salescommunity/messageThis episode of Tech Sales Insights is sponsored by: SaaStr | https://www.saastr.com

You may have seen mortgage tips posted throughout the forums or in the BiggerPockets Money Facebook Group, but rarely do you get preapproval tips straight from a lender themselves.

Thanks for stopping by the Faith First Podcast. We post a new episode each week that highlights our faith walk in the world. We all struggle with temptation and I bet we all search for ways inside of ourselves to resist them. However, there is a place we can turn to help in the battle. Do you want to know what it is? Good! You are in the right place as we listen to our Lead Pastor Steve Darr deliver a message on "Where do you turn?"In this episode you'll discover:Why we think we have the will-power to resist temptationWhat weapons will be used to  take us downWhy we trust God up to a pointHow we can completely turn everything over to Jesus to handleHow to stand guard when temptation comes our wayWhen we read and study the Bible we are feeding ourselves with direct anointed words from God. The words that are in the Bible are spiritual food that has the ability to feed our minds, souls, and spirits. There are no other spiritual truths from any other sources that we can feed off of that will give us the ability to grow in our faith and overcome what Satan throws at us. Any other source is dead and has no power.

Michelle's earliest memories from childhood all relate to money. And yet, the stories and lessons learned from different branches of her family tree couldn't be more dichotomous!Michelle has used the money lessons from her life to rethink how financial advisors and their clients have traditionally worked together. Rather than thinking of her role as a gatekeeper of portfolios, she sees real value in being a gateway to personal financial freedom.To support her clients on their unique wealth journeys, Michelle is a technician of financial planning, investment, and wealth management. But what differentiates Michelle from other financial advisors is that she has spent the last two-plus decades studying the unconventional, non-financial aspects of life satisfaction, financial therapy (it's a thing), behavioral bias, choice, and decision advising.She believes we all need to examine the money stories, scripts, and lessons that affect our financial psychology so that we can rethink what we know about money to have more of it.Michelle lives in Wyckoff, NJ with her husband, Mike and sons, Alex and Nick. She is an avid photographer – her sons are her favorite subject!What you will learn in this episode:How Michelle received what she calls “a familial education in the emotional side of money”, and what lessons she learned growing up with wealthy but spendthrift parentsHow Michelle had a pivotal moment when her father bought a yacht but told her he couldn't afford to pay for her college education, and what lasting impact this experience had on her lifeHow Michelle experienced a deep sense of “money shame” dealing with the fact that her parents were spendthriftsWhat key fears people are experiencing related to money, scarcity and emotional health during the pandemicWhy our experience of the passage of time is both accelerating and slowing down due to the pandemic and the dramatic life changes we are forced to make to adaptWhy Michelle believes that people who are feeling a heightened sense of urgency should consider if things are really that urgent and should instead try to slow things downWhy social distancing provides an opportunity to slow things down and truly consider your goals and the next steps you need to take to get thereHow Michelle recommends parents who are dealing with financial crises speak to their kids about unexpected changesHow the global COVID-19 pandemic is creating a generational change moment that will leave permanent lasting changesWhat “financial therapy” is and how it can help people better understand their emotional and mental connection to moneyResources:Website: https://michelleab.com/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/michellearpinbeginacfp/Additional Resources:Website: sharonspano.comBook: thetimemoneybook.comEvents: sharonspano.com/workshopsContact: sharon@sharonspano.comTwitter: @SharonSpano

Now I have a bit of an obsession with fear. Or - at least I didn’t realise I had - until looking over some of the amazing guests we’ve had and have lined up for the podcast this year. And realising that fear - or at least mastering fear - seems to be a constant and underlying theme.So that raises the question of why - what has fear got to do with influence - and why can’t I seem to leave it alone. I’ll tell you why - other than because it’s a daily dance of my own in one way shape or form. As it is for anyone that’s ever tried to do or say anything in the public domain - or any domain for that matter. I think it’s because - over the years of working alongside influencers - I have met and worked with one too many brilliant people, one too many brilliant ideas, companies, brands and products. One too many people with something important to say or contribute. Who have all been left on the sidelines as a result of this statement: ‘I will do this… when I feel more...’ Sound familiar? Essentially - I will show up, stand up, be seen - and offer the full force of what I have to offer. When I feel less fearful.So - in that sense - fear - or the ability to move towards it, harness it, rewrite it’s stories and relinquish it’s control over when and how we show up. Is the ultimate key to influence. Without it - the rest - negotiation tools, presentation skills, content algorithms, leadership habits - all mean nothing at all. So - there’s my why.Now back to this episode. As a metaphor for negotiating with fear - surfing a 50 foot wave has to be on top of the list. As one of Australia’s best big wave surfers, my next guest Mark Matthews understands better than most the the intersections of fear, focus and staying in place when backing out seems like the only sane option. In fact - one of my favorite moments in our conversation is where he talks about ‘Holding the line’. I don’t know if many of you will remember that infamous scene from Braveheart before the great battle - possibly showing my age here - where Mel Gibson shouts ‘HOLD!’ over and over again as the charging army gets rapidly closer. Mark talks about how he literally uses this technique, this phrase - over and over again when at the crest of a wave - to keep himself in position until that exact right second. Basically - to prevent himself from reacting to adrenalin by backing out or moving too fast.Unbelievably - as you’ll hear - Mark was frightened of the ocean as a child and spent his childhood visits with family to the ocean sitting on the beach. YET - he went on to carve out a niche as one of the top big wave surfers in the world. Having surfed many of the world's heaviest and biggest waves including Cape Fear, NSW, Teahupoo (hope I got that one right), Tahiti, Maui and - well - if you know anything about big waves - you’ll be able to recite the rest. He has won three Oakley Big Wave Awards and is considered one of the best big waves surfers in the world.Then - while in surfing in Australia in 2016 - Mark fell feet first onto a shallow reef - waking up later in a helicopter in a full body brace. He had tore his artery, nerve, multiple ligaments and fractured his shin. After an artery transfer he was assured by Dr’s that he would keep his leg - but with that kind of nerve damage - he would never be able to surf again. What followed was a new journey into fear. The fear of starting again. Only this time against the odds - and while the whole world was watching.In this epic conversation Mark and I dive into: The role of risk analysis in dealing with fearHow to ‘hold the line’ when you’re so committed you can’t back downWhy pushing any boundary starts with being unreasonableHow to ignore the feelings that make you want to run - and swap fear for focusThe power of embracing the pain - to stop the brain shutting you down. How to consciously choose your next adrenaline kick to take you to the next levelAND why you should always train for wipe out scenarios - in order to push past where other people would choke. I loved my conversation with Mark. He’s unassuming, humble - and yet driven to take on challenges that will blow your mind. Just quickly Google his name and look at the images that come up - that will be enough for you to get a sense of what I’m talking about. So - if you know you have a 50 foot opportunity or challenge coming your way - or maybe feel like you’re surfing one right now - then this is for you. Sit back, buckle up - and enjoy my conversation with phenomenal big wave surfer Mark Matthews. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
