Today’s Episode—Eric McNulty, Crisis and Change Leadership, Harvard Educator, Speaker, Author, and Mentor Eric and I met a couple of years ago but really connected last fall while we were both speakers at TEDx Walden Pond.

Across all aspects of his life, he embodies the traits that inspire and motivate: Trust, empathy, determination, forgiveness, energy and boundless love. He has defined and created his enduring success; and fuels the success of those around him. Thank you, Mo.

In a direct-to-consumer environment, especially with something as personal as weight loss and management, the ability to inspire those around you to take action and tra...
