In today's episode, I am sharing my perspective on COVID-19 and the challenges many of us are facing today and in the coming weeks, months and years. My hope is that this episode provides an empowering and optimistic viewpoint on the global coronavirus pandemic that none of us saw coming. The three questions that I challenge you to ask yourself are:

• How will you use your time in quarantine?
• What's your opportunity in this adversity?
• How is the content you're consuming impacting you?

In an effort to provide assistance to those looking to improve themselves and prepare for the challenges ahead, we are offering our Vision and Goal Setting course for free to anyone who is interested. For access to that free course, email me at brad(at)millennialmm.com (sorry bots).

Chris Spurvey is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, podcast host and author of the best-selling business book It's Time to Sell: Cultivating the Sales Mind-Set. After consciously choosing entrepreneurship as a means to create a better life for his family, Chris realized that negative beliefs about sales were holding him back from taking his ventures to the next level. He saw this as a major hurdle to not only his businesses but the businesses of virtually every other entrepreneur. Chris went to work on himself and found a way to sell that felt right. He spearheaded the growth of Plato Consulting to the point it was acquired by one of the largest management consulting firms in the world (KPMG). In the process, he sold over $300 million in consulting services. Following the acquisition, Chris turned his focus to helping other "non-sales sellers" find a way to grow their revenue in a consistent, stress-free manner. Links:
