Ep #199: Tom Berry – The Risk of Freedom and Legacy

What would you be willing to sacrifice to gain success? Are you willing to take risks and break away from ‘normal’ to live a unique and successful life? Tom Berry joins the show to talk about how important it is to take risks and be willing to make sacrifices in order to reach your goals. He also points out how important family legacy (past and future) is to your success.

Listen in to hear about Tom’s journey from humble beginnings to the successful place he’s in now, including what he learned along the way. He reflects on prideful and risk-averse mistakes he made and how you can make better decisions. Tom also gives some incredible advice on success – from non-negotiables and getting your spouse on board to preparing for big challenges.
