Tony Litster and I go way back to our days in kindergarten at Valley View Elementary in Boise, ID.  From the outside, Tony's path toward success seemed preordained.  He was imbued with natural leadership, high cognitive capacity, and was one of the most driven in our cohort that would stay together through high school graduation.  However, internally Tony was a mess and it took a while for things to unravel to a point where he could finally connect with his authentic-self and create a life of purpose.  As a highly successful CEO Coach, Tony has keen insights into what makes us flourish or flounder drawing on his own experience as well as those who have reached the pinnacle of success.  For more information about his personal practice, you can visit his website here.  On a side note, our conversation lasted for more than 1.5 hours and covered a lot of topics.  In an attempt to keep this episode manageable, I edited it down to around 30 minutes, so if you notice a moment or two of inconsistency in the conversation, this is the reason.
