In today’s episode, we hear from Matt Williams, co-founder, and CEO of the nutrition brand FRO PRO. At the core of his business is the principle of constant improvement. Their mission is to share wholesome snacks and create a community of people dedicated to bettering themselves, and spread awareness about and advocate for people working through addiction and towards recovery. Tune in to find how Matt has found true FREEDOM and how he’s using that for the betterment of us all.
In business and in life we live with EXPECTATIONS. Of ourselves, of our team, and ones that others have of us. There is a life philosophy where some people believe that we should live with LOW EXPECTATIONS.

The other philosophy is to have HIGH EXPECTATIONS and to go for everything you want in life. Tune in as the guys kick this one around and discuss which one - or both - will lead to success!
