Work Life 360 with Matt Perkins
What a fun spirited conversation Matt Perkins, of Business To Business Logistics, about wellbeing and how our relationships can help drive our health behaviors.
Matt and I had a honest conversation about how different stages of life impact our health habits including daily exercise, alcohol/drug use, stress management practices, work-alcoholic tendencies, unhelpful eating habits, sleeping issues and so on.
Matt gives us an inside look at how and why he took charge of his health and made adjustments so he could build his #freightbroker company, have energy to play with his kids, and continue to show up each day in a way that facilitates wellness in the workplace for his and his team’s success.
We talk about #mentalhealth and how best to support honest discussions about men’s mental health in the workplace that often go unspoken about.
Matt shares some time management, vision board, focus, mindset, mind/body/spirit and sleep tips that are helpful with mind shift awareness.
Thanks, Matt! Enjoyed smiling and talking wellbeing with ya.
