Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: From Emotional Turmoil to Healing Humanity with Gerry Powell

[1:24] – Gerry shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

[2:05] – How did you find your success?

  • He had his first multi-million dollar deal in his thirties and second in his forties.

  • He started in the plastic surgery business by making operational changes and improvements.
  • He acquired 135 plastic surgery centers in 35 states, put them in one marketing plan and software program, and made a lot of money.
  • He ended up selling it and had the biggest deal of his life.

[6:51] – Despite all his success, Gerry suffered from depression and addiction, and he even contemplated suicide.
