It was an honor to have Charlie Luck on the podcast as our guest. His stories of going from a rock-based business to a values-based business are inspiring! The creation of InnerWill Leadership Institute is such a gift to those who choose to engage. The work Charlie and his team are doing to improve the lives of his colleagues and clients really resonated with our idea of being the best version of yourself SO THAT you may inspire others to do the same! Special shout out to Camille Cherry and Betsey Fortlouis for connecting us to Charlie!
