My guest, Vinh Giang, Entrepreneur and Keynote Speaker, was living the high life jetting around the world, speaking to over 100,000 people every year using magic and storytelling to show how to use effective communication skills. On the outside, the success “looked” amazing, but this success came at the cost of ignoring his intuition, leaving him feeling incredibly empty. He needed a major reset, not once, but twice so that he made himself a priority, not others, making sure that he pays attention to the signals his intuition is giving him so that he never feels alone again.
