Episode 44: Guy and Jane Harvey

Season 2, Ep. 44

Guy and Jane Harvey are a super couple.

Their story floored me and I consider it an honor to know them.

Guy had a stroke in 2016 - how it happened is unique, he was a fit dude.

What happened after is the stuff of legend.

Jane, his girlfriend at the time, stepped in, and up. We all need a Jane in our lives.

While Guy's stroke is a big part of their story. His recovery journey and their marriage are the main event.

Guy works hard, he's dedicated, but Jane is the engine that keeps this marriage running. She's the rare combination of passion, love, compassion and determination. These two are not to be underestimated.

They now run JGH Rehab. Notice that it's Jane Guy Harvey Rehab. Jane's name is first, for a darn good reason.

Their goal: to help others recover from the debilitating effects of a stroke.

It's brutally hard work. It takes a long time. And it takes the right mindset in the survivor and the caregiver(s).

If you need a bit of inspiration or life perspective - this one's for you.

    Nat Berman has receipts. Boxes of them.His mission is to help other fill their receipt boxes......so they can create the life they secretly desire but may not know how to build.What's the goal? Financial independence. It's not necessarily wealth, it's the freedom to choose where to invest your time.Nat put in the work - long days, for years, with one goal: To get off the treadmill of corporate life.Now Nat helps others create a plan to be Masters of their Universe (please tell me you have one of these t-shirts, Nat).Nat posts daily on LinkedIn...usually wearing a vintage t-shirt with obscure movie lines or classic culture references.What Nat preaches is not for everyone. Another successful business person posting selfies from his backyard pool (don't forge the cool t-shirts).Don't let the format mislead you. Nat has discovered, after years of posting, how to reach an audience. People who are not willing to do the work don't understand.Nat's just running the same process he used to create financial independence to help others.Seems to make sense.

    Will and John are the odd couple.They work well together but couldn't be more different.Will has been in the talent game for some time.John has been a brand builder and marketer for some time as well.They understand how people think, and how they work together - or don't.They've partnered to help companies understand how to build great teams and avoid the wrong mix.How? They get leadership teams on the same page - about what they need and who they are REALLY looking for.Seems logical right?Yet, very few companies truly understand what they are looking for, and what they aren't.Had a blast with this one, hope you enjoy it.
