How do we navigate change that’s unexpected? This is a question that I’ve found a lot of people are struggling with today. Change is inevitable, whether it's in our personal lives, careers, or society at large. It's like that surprise guest who shows up uninvited when you least expect it… and is here to stay.

John is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach and speaker whose passion is to develop leaders at all levels. He is the founder of The John Maxwell Company, The John Maxwell Team and EQUIP, a nonprofit organization that has trained more than 5 million leaders in 180 countries. John was a pastor for more than 30 years before devoting himself full time to speaking and writing. His new book is called High Road Leadership.

While you can have both, it’s important not to confuse them. Achievement centers on tangible outcomes, but it’s often temporary and can get addicting. Fulfillment is something deeper. It’s about finding purpose and living by your values. It lasts longer and feels more real. Without it, success can feel empty.
Here are three questions I use to check in with myself, when I feel the lines start to blur:

We have more control than we think. On this episode, Dr. Means shares five tests to help you evaluate your metabolic health, the five components of the “Good Energy Eating Plan” and three things to eliminate from your diet today.
