Choosing Perseverance Over Perfectionism With Courtney Johnson

“You want people that will challenge you, but you don't want people that are just completely misaligned with your values.” — Courtney Johnson

In this episode of Owning Your Legacy, Laurette welcomes Courtney Johnson, founder and president of Culinary Care, to talk about the decision to persevere through difficulties and transform struggles into inspiration in life and business.
