We were super excited to have the chance to converse with today’s guest, CEO Geoff Woods, Vice President of The One Thing company, where Geoff gets to work directly with high-level mentors like Gary Keller, founder of the Keller Williams International Realty Company, and co-author—with Jay Papasan—of The One Thing book.
Geoff is also the host of The Mentee podcast where he interviews inspiring mentors, as a part of his own journey to surround himself with—and learn from—the best. Soon, he will become a mentor on that podcast and be replaced by other mentee hosts.
Geoff Woods is also a husband and father of two young children, residing in the booming entrepreneurial city of Austin, TX.

Note from Devani: I missed several days of doing my journal and accountability mentioned in the session. So I started the 30 day period over. I’ll keep adding progress updates here. We may share an update in future Coffee Break sessions.
