Today the Biz Bros hear Dr. Pete Alexander's story and how he turned around his life of stress!
"During my career I have had the privilege to work in a variety of positions including Sales, Marketing, College Professor and Small Business Owner. Each role had one thing in common - high stress - to the point I was diagnosed with stress-related diabetes and also ended up in the hospital with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis, a few hours away from being comatose. It was a reality check for me. When you don’t have your health, not much else matters. I knew it was time for me to walk away even though I had a great job, secure income and good benefits. Interestingly, my coworkers and peers were very supportive and the majority of them told me they admired my decision to put my health first before my career because they were contemplating the same thing. I realized then that it wasn’t just me, and now I have dedicated my professional career to helping other hard-driving leaders avoid my mistakes and immensely benefit from the wonderful tools and techniques I have learned and experienced first-hand."
