Never Stand Still
By Never Stand Still with Dan Schulman
I start each morning practicing martial arts because it brings me balance and focus. But it's also taught me scores of life lessons, including "If you stand still, you're asking to be hit." And I've applied that lesson throughout my career, not just in business, but in life. And that's the inspiration for this show.
