Today’s guest is a deeply thoughtful and creative entrepreneur who blends endurance sport, design, and storytelling. Introducing Nick Salazar, Owner of TriRig, who partners with host Greg McDonough to explore what it really means to build a life on your own terms.

- Being present in the moment allows for better decisions, stronger relationships, and clearer leadership.
