EP 29 - Conversation with Chad Kalland: Going from rock bottom to successful CEO & Community activist

May 4, 2021

Confucius says - Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. What obstacles, failures, mistakes have you faced in your life? And What have you learned from them? The key is to learn from our mistakes so that we don't repeat them and then we can truly rise above. This is a powerful lesson we can learn from my conversation with Chad Kalland. In this conversation, we go deep as Chad shares his courageous journey with us. He weathered the storm and came out on top, turning his life around and becoming a successful, purpose-driven CEO.
