Louis Marchetti, a longtime investor and business advisor, lived life in the fast lane until a near-death experience from a sudden cardiac arrest jolted him to reassess his priorities. 
It's a common misconception among high achievers that a jam-packed schedule equates to success; any downtime implies lost momentum. Too frequently, we “look, but don’t see” - rushing from moment to moment in life so fast that we forget why we are working so hard to begin with.
On today’s episode, Stephanie and Louis debunk this myth and explore the power of taking a pause.
