"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African Proverb My guest on this episode epitomizes what it means to work together. Dr. Davia Shepherd has built an empire with her chiropractic practice and through her Ladies Power Lunch networking organization, primarily through collaboration. In her new book Grow Smarter, Dr. Davia writes about how the magic of a powerful collaboration helps create real magic in the world. My biggest takeaway from this book—and our conversation—is how it helped me to recreate my own relationship to competition. This is a powerful conversation with a powerful lady, and I'm excited to share it with you.
