Join us for an interview with Justin Lokitz, who is a Catalyst, Entrepreneur, Advisor, Author and Professor. In this episode, Justin shares how he has learned to ask for help to drive success. When he reflects back on things he wished he had known earlier in his journey, he says asking for help would have minimized failures and accelerated wins. As he manages a ton of catalytic projects today, he still has to stop himself and either ask friends for help or hire people to compliment his skillset and interest areas. It's never too late to ask for help! Original music by Lynz Floren.
