To Be Successful, You Have To Be Healthy-Part 1

If you were to stop a noontime crowd on the street and ask them to name their most valuable asset, most wouldn't hesitate to identify their homes as the greatest asset they own. Others may nominate a well-funded 401(k) or a shiny sports car as their most valuable asset.

Since then, I've been inspired to share my message with others through the health and wellness company I founded, Garden of Life which has been named the 14th fasting growing private company in Americal by Inc Magazine, the public speaking I do, the release of several books, including my latest:
