My guest today is Roddy Gibbs. Roddy is a writer, former business owner, and more recently a demand generator for Sellhack. As a kid who grew up in Pennsylvania, Roddy moved to San Diego in his early 20s and took an unconventional path to where he is today.
On today’s episode Roddy tells me about the challenges he encountered while learning what his role was in business. We discuss his parents and their teachings of mindful meditation and how that has helped him through his life. At the age of 23 Roddy developed arthritis in his spine, it completely changed his life and strengthened his relationship with his family.
