The World’s #1 Personal Development Book Podcast!


In today’s episode we have the pleasure to interview author of “Wonderhell” Laura Gassner Otting 

 

Laura is a wall street journal best selling author of 3 books, an executive coach, keynote speaker, change maker, she’s been featured in Forbes, a regular on the Today Show and Good Morning America, she’s also a philanthropist who is always looking for a way to give back, she is a law school dropout who found herself as Presidential Appointee, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 


In this episode you’ll learn all about why success doesn’t equal happiness and how with the more success you achieve tends to come with harder work, about the loneliness at the top, the difficulty of self-growth, why self-help books don’t make you better, how you can waste a lot of money being cheap, you’ll also learn about Laura’s discovery of the only 3 things you can actually maximize in business, and most importantly if you’re worthy of wonderhell. If you want to learn how to step up to achieve your dreams and the success you deserve this episode is for you!


We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Laura Gassner Otting
