YOUR FINEST HOUR | Most leaders are stuck in reactive mode—constantly solving problems, hiring for gaps, and chasing revenue goals. But what if the real unlock isn’t doing more—but becoming someone different?
In this episode, host Joseph King Barkley, President of the Meta Performance Institute, sits down with estate planning and probate attorney Jeff Althaus, Founding Partner of Althaus Law, and his coach, CJ Martindale, Associate Partner at Novus Global.
