Jim Donnelly is co-founder and CEO of Restore Hyper Wellness, the leading proactive wellness company in the country. Restore Hyper Wellness is on a mission to make proactive wellness accessible and affordable to all so people can do more of what they love to do.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Success doesn't have to change you if you live a fulfilled, mission-driven, and good life.

2. Know yourself. You have to know what you are good at, and you also have to see what you're not good at and pull up people that accentuate your weaknesses.

3. You can do better in terms of how you prioritize your health, and when you do that, you will be in a better position to deal with whatever comes your way. Be proactive, be a part of a community, and have some fun.

Joe Blackburn, founder of The Lion, leads multi-million-dollar teams to develop strategies that bridge the gap from standard growth to expansive success.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Every business is a people business and the only thing that will save you in business is your effectiveness with people.

2. You are the product so you have to constantly refine yourself. Taking care of yourself by becoming more interesting, learning and growing more is necessary to adapt in the ever evolving world of business.

3. Write your goals everyday because if you don’t, your goals will escape you and if you are not controlling your mind, someone else will.

Eric Siu is the founder of digital marketing agency Single Grain. He also hosts two podcasts: Marketing School and Leveling Up, which get over 2.1M monthly downloads combined. Over the years, he has helped companies such as Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, and Salesforce acquire more customers.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. To create something truly lasting, often requires more time than people expect, more like two or three decades. However many people lack the endurance for such a long-term commitment.

2. Many believe SEO is losing its relevance, but that is not entirely true. As long as people search for things online, SEO remains important.

3. Those who embrace AI and prioritize continuous learning will thrive, while others may rely on universal basic income. This shift is exciting as it is an opportunity for the best to rise to the top.
