Stay Sharp Podcast

This week we talk about the fact that success is never on discount. Nobody rewards you for effort, you get rewarded for results. We talk a little about how that applies to the movie My All American. 

Your greatest opponents can be your greatest teachers. They can push you to be your absolute best. 

Stop putting off what you can do today. In the words of the late, great Apollo Creed, "There Is No Tomorrow!"
