The Sheepdog COPreneur Part 2 with Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
November 1, 2021
I'm honored to have Lt. Col. Dave Grossman join me for a fascinating conversation. During Part 1 (Episode 57) we chatted about personal health and well-being, authorship, entrepreneurship, and more. I've broken this into two parts because I didn't want to leave anything out so you, the listener, could take in all the wisdom revealed. We also dove into the concept of the "Sheepdog" and how we as law enforcement or military professionals carry that for life. Listen in to Part 1 if you haven't yet.
And during Part 2, Lt. Col Grossman gives us several of his keys to success. He reveals his "Secret Sauce" and encourages us to push the envelope, which will help us find that successful path. This is a great episode chock-full of golden nuggets!
