61 | Work Doesn't Have To Suck with Keith Johns

In this week’s episode, I talk with Keith Johns.  After a very successful career climbing the ranks at companies, he realized something was missing in his life.  He was not living the best life he wanted for himself and his family.   It wasn’t until he reconnected with a former colleague, who was now a coach, that he realized he didn’t want the 9-5 life anymore and he made the leap to start a side hustle which is now his full time work.  He had to accept the truth that “it is ok to make a change”.More about Keith Johns...Keith is a mindset, energy, and behavior coach with a passionate belief: Work shouldn't suck.
