This is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours. A feature length episode with Gary Crotaz, who is executive and mindset coach and author. Gary’s first career was in medicine, where he became a respiratory doctor. While he was doing his final exams, he searched for a role in management consultancy. Gary’s second career was a tough, starting at the bottom after 8 years as a student doctor. Gary built a successful business career while balancing a professional career as a ballroom dancer. We talk about Gary’s new book called IDEA Mindset which has been inspired by his career and coaching. He talks about the importance of being a great leader and believe in your career.
