And what I failed to build into them was leadership and culture. There was no manager on site. It was just a bunch of coaches and equipment. Oh, and there's no leadership. There's no accountability. The inmates are ruckus. And eventually, it caught up with me." - Dustin Bogle"Everybody knows how to ace the test and put on that fake smile. But when you work, the truth always comes up." - Dustin Bogle"The second is finding somebody that talks a lot about being an entrepreneur, but in all reality, they're really an intrapreneur, which means they want to run a business inside of your business." - Dustin Bogle"Talk to random strangers, get out of your comfort. It's uncomfortable. It's always going to be like uncomfortable to break the ice.” - Adam NiffenSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSAdam NiffenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-niffen-6baba7170/Dustin BogleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dustin.bogle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealDustinBogle/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustin-bogle-5b8a4b46/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DustinBogleWEBSITEStride Fitness Solutions: https://stridefitnesssolutions.com/Support the show
