My daily actions and client coaching calls now focus on cash flow, cost cutting, alternative sources of labor, and community building.

(My school’s wrestling team, BTW, never recovered to that level of incredible performance but that year’s team when I coached last was recently honored by induction into the university’s Hall of Fame. This was the first time the university indicted an entire team into its Hall of Fame, further supporting the point that this was an exceptionally high point of performance).
