Summary

If you’re successful and smart about it, questioning what you do all the time can ensure whatever you’re doing is really working for you at whatever stage of life you’re at.

Why did Mike move from the world of weightlifting and CrossFit to the internal — coaching coaches and cognitive fitness? Hear his answer in this transformative Living 4D episode.
