Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects": One of the most impactful things I heard over, and over and over again was the importance of the morning routine and while it seems obvious it is often overlooked.

Why it was selected for "CBNation Architects": Susan is the definition of a Giver and has so much experience and knowledge to help leaders and business owners. It was also great to hear about her journey and how sometimes being out of alignment can push you into alignment (e.g. just like a car).
