In this episode of the 'Business By Referral' podcast, host Virginia Muzquiz engages in an uplifting and insightful conversation with JM Ryerson, a serial entrepreneur, performance coach and best-selling author of 'Let's Go Win', 'Champion's Daily Playbook', and 'Upgrade.' JM shares his experiences on building, growing, and selling businesses, navigating personal trials, and the importance of having a growth mindset. He imparts wisdom on improving personal and professional development, advocating for the importance of nurturing the mind, body, and soul, the power of authenticity, and re-framing one's perspective towards upgrading rather than changing one's life. JM also provides helpful advice on overcoming limiting beliefs and emphasizes the importance of enjoying life's journey despite inevitable failures or setbacks.
