My latest podcast guest, John Ratliff, shares his personal journey with a serious liver condition—and how asking one simple question transformed not just his health experience, but his entire approach to business challenges.

His test results showed a dramatic improvement, although his doctor couldn't explain what had happened. But here's what really matters for leaders: John's approach to every challenge is asking, "What's the lesson?" This single question transforms obstacles into growth opportunities and has guided his journey from startup to successfully selling a 24-company rollup. John believes our internal state affects everything we do. When we shift our perspective on challenges, we shift our outcomes. 🎧 Listen to episode 516 of Get Yourself Optimized to hear John's full story, plus how he helped his daughter find breakthrough solutions during her mental health crisis using flow state activities.
