Today’s guest is CJ McLanahan. CJ is a keynote speaker, advisor, and describes himself as a recovering overachiever. For over 17 years, CJ has been helping others focus on what’s important, not defined solely by income or job title. His focus is on moving toward our hearts and the amount of kindness we deliver to others, and what happens to both our business and our personal lives when we do just that.
CJ McLanahan runs a podcast called success 2.0 and I came across him organically in looking for podcasts that aligned with my own message.I immediately knew we would have valuable conversation and content together. He has an expansive and varied background in areas such as law, politics, accounting, coaching, manufacturing, and sales to eventually realizing that running his own company was the way to create the life he really wanted for himself.
He now works with the folks who are trying to find the most peace and joy they can in life and those who know that financial success ultimately cannot bring you what you are searching for.

- Where executive coaching usually goes wrong.
- The illusions high achievers hold about what creates fulfillment
