Some people just seem to have it all together. Others actually do. Today’s guest is in the latter category.

I’m talking about Laura Gassner Otting, a highly sought after speaker, consultant, and executive coach.

Laura brings both tough love and wisdom and offers a no-holds-barred look at what it really takes to get out of your own way and earn your success today.

Among other things, Laura and I discuss her new book Limitless and the knowledge and experience she’s gained in interviewing thousands of leaders at crisis points in their lives and their careers.

If you ever dreamed about discovering and crushing that personal goal that is so big and so scary that you’ve only dared whisper it to yourself, this book is the permission you didn’t even know you needed to live into it as only you can.

• …and plenty more!
