Summary

In today's episode of the AYG podcast, Jon Berghoff shares the unexpected origin story of how he and Hal Elrod first met, when they were teenagers, and then he provides you with his counter-intuitive secrets for sustaining massive success.

Jon starts out by taking a trip down memory lane and recounts how he and Hal first met back in 1999. You'll find out why Hal moved across the country to live with Jon AND why they were embarrassingly forced to share a bed for 4 months!

During this session, Jon shares his real world experiences and reveals the habits held by those who are able to sustain success and fulfillment, over the long haul. You'll learn about what the spirit of generosity can do for your life and business, how to use humility to your advantage, and why curiosity is so crucial to achieving greatness in all areas of your life.

You'll also discover what a sense of adventure and an appreciation for nature can teach all of us about collectively achieving success.
