Addiction and Sales, with Ian Koniak [Episode 917]

Ian Koniak is Strategic Account Director at Salesforce.com. If you have a good memory, you’ll recall Ian was on this show two months ago. Today we’re talking about a topic we meant to cover in his last appearance. Namely his struggles with addiction and mental health. Ian is incredibly open and honest about his past struggles with addiction and the impact it had on his family and work. We also get into the topic of burnout. Why it’s too easy in sales to be out of balance with work and life. To be outwardly successful but to feel empty and disconnected from all inside. I certainly felt it myself at one point in my career. I’m sure many of you have. Ian shares his advice about what he’s done to bring everything back in alignment. And how he works to keep it that way.
