ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dissatisfaction doesn’t necessarily get the credit it deserves. Of course, we want to be able to identify it in our clients in order to serve them better, but it goes even deeper than that. Today’s guest believes that dissatisfaction is an important catalyst for personal and professional growth.
