Are you running on empty — and not even realizing it?
On Episode 130 of the Opportunity Knocks Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Deane — CEO + Founder of MEvolution, Stanford University Continuing Studies instructor, and author of The Wellness Formula — to explore a transformational approach to energy management and human performance.
We dive into a powerful truth: your energy — not your time — is the most valuable resource you have. Sarah shares her evidence-based framework for measuring, managing, and optimizing energy, helping you sustain peak performance without burning out. We also explore how aligning with your core values can boost motivation, focus, and overall fulfillment.
