Jefferson joins me today to describe his long road from addiction to sobriety and building a company. He reveals what he has learned from starting a business and identifies what excellent leaders have in common. He explains the dangers of being emotionally reactive as a leader and highlights the importance of connecting with your feelings and intuition. Jefferson also underscores the role of health and longevity in leadership and the importance of celebrating your wins in life.

“If you don’t have health and longevity, you can’t operate. Whether you’re a sales leader, entrepreneur, or department manager, you need to show up for your people with energy and enthusiasm.” - Jefferson K. Rogers
