"Corporate mindfulness is about appreciating those snatched moments life offers... It's an antidote to burnout." - Patrick Olszowski -------------------------------------------------------------------   In a recent electrifying episode of "Joseph Jaffe is not Famous," Patrick Olszowski, the founder of Outrageous Insight, joined me for a conversation that was nothing short of a roller coaster ride of wisdom, humor, and candid revelations.
