It's All About the Questions


Nov 27, 2018

 All in. What does that really mean? Can you be all in one aspect of your life or business or does it only apply if you are all in with all aspects of your being? 

At various times in my life I have felt all in with everything. When I am all in, magic seems to flow out of my every being and positivity  is the outcome. The last ten years or so not so much. I have had moments of all in but to be honest, I do not really think it was really "All In" since it latest just a moment.

So how do you know if you are All In, Part way in or not even close?

My guest today has not only written the Wall Street Journal bestselling book on how to be All In, Shift the Work: The Revolutionary Science of Moving From Apathetic to All in Using Your Head, Heart and Gut, he lives and breathes it. His life's work is to help businesses, people and communities become all in in all aspects of who they are and what they do.

In a no holds barred interview Joe shares how he believes the world can change via one All In at a time to move life and business for everyone from apathy to positive shift.

It was a joy to reconnect with Joe after many years. Take a listen and see if you can hear the moment I realized somewhere along the way I lost my own personal all in to me and how he helped me begin to bring it back.
