If you’re looking to end your year on a high note, love a good transformation story or want to feel inspired by the potential that awaits you in 2023, this episode marks the spot! 

Today, John Ruhlin is a successful founder, CEO, author and sought-after speaker, but a few short decades ago he was just a farm boy from Ohio. His humble beginnings would take a turn as he began to earn jaw-dropping monthly checks as the greatest seller in Cutco’s 68-year history – with no prior sales experience. ZERO. His secret sauce? Gift giving! In this episode John breaks down the power of radical generosity, why gratitude is your competitive advantage, how he learned to normalize tension in pursuit of his calling and why he’s certain “the suck” of life often leads us to our significance. In short – don’t sleep on this conversation. John’s uncommon wisdom and unforgettable life story is one you’ve just got to hear!
