“If the best golfer in the world is still working with a coach, then it’s pretty arrogant for the rest of the world to say, ‘Well, yeah, everyone else should have a coach, but not me.’” These are the words of today’s guest, David Wood, who believes that even the most successful people in the world need coaches. David is a former consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies.
