After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow talk about how you can apply what you’ve learned to your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
Genius: the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Simple doesn’t work if simple doesn’t relate.
You don’t have to start off well, you just have to begin.
