Jim's TakeReal Resiliency: From Zero to One with Dan MacQueen (Ep. 111)
Sometimes you meet a person and know they have a story that should be shared. And that’s what happened with me and Dan MacQueen.

We THINK we work hard. We THINK we have problems. We THINK our challenges are insurmountable and frustrating. But sometimes, when we hear a s...
