Extreme Sports and Your Work
I was listening to the BusinessWeek – Climbing the Ladder podcast this week. The guest, Paul Schaye, talks about how his bicycle riding is helping him in business and his battle with inoperable cancer. Mr. Schaye plans on riding several long events this year, including one in Paris, France. The insight he has is worth listening to.
