Summary

In the milestone 200th episode of TRXL, I had the privilege of welcoming Nathan Miller back to the mic because few people in our space cut through the noise like he does.

Nate introduced his Smarts, Health, and Fitness framework, which I believe is an incredibly practical and honest model for firm leaders navigating today’s rapid technological shifts.
