I am sure you already know my legendary guest today, Dave Hollis, but I bet you don’t know the details of the journey he’s been on in the last couple of years through his relationships, career, sobriety, and self-development. He’s an incredible example of finding resilience through the mess and I’m excited for you to hear his insights and learn from his experience, strength, and hope.
