EP 393: Dr. John Berardi on Why Generalists are the Future of the Fitness Industry
So, here's something cool. Pat Flynn and John Berardi completely agree: Generalists are the future of the fitness industry. In other words, leaders and innovators are typically those who can develop, and integrate, multiple, useful skill-sets toward a desired outcome. Depth is important -- nobody is denying that -- but depth cannot be sought at the expense of breadth, less you put yourself at a serious competitive disadvantage. In this interview, Dr. Berardi argues brilliantly for the importance of acquiring those critically essential skills for business and life success, which he describes as his "T-shaped" curriculum. Please tune in for an utterly fascinating conversation, and be sure to grab a copy of John's magnificent new book, Change Maker, here. ...
