Todd joins me today to discuss his honest journey of boom, then bust, then boom again. He shares the day and date he describes as ‘the worst day of his life’ and why making himself massively accountable to this moment has been the bedrock of his renewed success entering midlife. Todd reveals the 5 Positives his own coach made him reach daily and how this process of ‘showing up’ for himself helped him heal and get back on form. He also explains the ATV principles he observes to ensure a trust relationship with his clients and why answering to yourself is the most challenging task of all.
