#6: Autonomy is a Superpower | Justin Welsh

Feb 25

In today's show, Ray connects with Justin Welsh to discuss building a team culture of autonomy and ownership. Justin shares how by 27 he had been fired from his first three jobs, and how joining a high-performing, values-centered team shifted his mindset and his relationship to work. A decade later, Justin needed to make another change after finding himself burned out and in poor health, and has since shifted his focus to developing a more intentional life for himself and his family.
