And in our interview segment, international franchisor Sarah Nuse will share wisdom from her fantastic book, Destined for Greatness. That and more on today’s show. Bob’s Thought of the Day We’ll explore: The idea that the pursuit of happiness is part of our human nature. That acting incongruently with your values makes it nearly impossible to be happy.

And how desperation can catapult you to greatness. The power (and necessity) of doing the uncomfortable when building a business.
