Learn how to unlock your Bulletproof potential from the CEO of the habit-building app, Lift. Tony Stubblebine shares his take on what habits are good to form, and how to develop and sustain those habits by creating a supportive lifestyle. Tony and I also dug deep into the performance and emotional aspects of being a CEO. If you are a productivity hacker or a high performing businessperson, then you do not want to miss this episode!
Tony Stubblebine co-founded Lift based on the idea that positive reinforcement and community support could be deployed universally to help people achieve their goals. Prior to Lift, he was the founder and CEO of CrowdVine Event Social Networks, which builds simple and powerful software to help people connect and meet. He was also a part of the Wesabe launch team, Director of Engineering at Odeo.com and O’Reilly Media, and authored Regular Expression Pocket Reference.
