John Before the Peacefully Ambitious CEO

John  talks about his life before joining the Peacefully Ambitious CEO coaching program. You can see the full version of this on his "before" recording as Ep. 161 of the Joyous Profits podcast.

  • Lack of courage and belief in himself

  • Fear of being salesy or annoying
