Summary

“That’s a culture that not everyone’s cut out for, and that’s okay, right? So that happens in organizations. Not everyone’s cut out to be, necessarily, in this particular culture. But let's talk about it honestly and you know just keep everyone's dignity intact along the way,” says Ralph Rajs, COO of Forma Gym, and long-time friend and business partner of JC.

We’re back with part 2 of our interview with Ralph. Today he talks about the lessons he’s learned and the legacy he wants to leave. In this episode, you’ll learn:

The returns you get in life from being respectful
Importance of leaving people motivated and keeping their dignity intact
Being “graciously direct”
Recognizing people’s efforts and having more humility
