Jeff’s Top Tips Just because you don’t feel like it or you don’t want to do it, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t. The one character trait that is going to make you successful is altruism. Everybody has their problems in life and we don’t know what they are – give me them so grace.   Resources Mentioned Lore of Running – Tim Noakes MD Dr Brian Lenzkes https://fabulouslyketo.com/podcast/042 Quotes by Jeff Koterman “Now it’s time to pay it forward.” “My purpose is to help people do what they don’t want to do, so they can be who they want to be.” “Keto is not a religion, it’s a tool.” “Let’s make opportunities, so that we can do the only thing that we think we can’t do.” “I am truly blessed and honoured that they would give me the responsibility of their health and fitness and not let them slack.” “Happiness is found in finding purpose.” Connect with Jeff Kotterman on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/TriSystem https://twitte
