Welcome to episode #653 of Six Pixels of Separation.  Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #653 - Host: Mitch Joel. I had the please of hanging out with Alan Stein Jr. at a private meeting for professional speakers over the summer. I was super-impressed with his knowledge, capabilities and insights. Alan is a world-renowned coach, author and keynote speaker. He spent 15-plus years working the highest performing basketball players on the planet, and now coaches businesses on how to utilize the same strategies that elite athletes (like Kevin Durant) use to perform at a world-class level. Alan specializes in improving individual and organizational leadership, performance and accountability. He inspires and empowers everyone he works with to take immediate action and improve mindset, habits and productivity, which is why he recently published his first book, Raise Your Game - High-Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best.
