One of Alex Molden’s coaches in the NFL gave him this sage advice, which we dive into in this conversation.
Ever since, Alex has carried those principles into business (he’s an in-demand professional speaker and 1-on-1 coach for high achievers) and in life (he’s a father of 8!), as well as in practicing his faith.
If you’re working on a book, do any professional speaker, or run any coaching services, coaching programs, etc…we touch on how Alex has pivoted during the pandemic to stay in the game (and how you can as well while also balancing obligations to your family, health, and other projects that have come across your plate in the last 12 months during quarantine).
