Episode 142-Megan Nolan on Taking Your Health into Retirement-Building My Legacy with Lois Sonstegar

Welcome to Episode 142 of Building My Legacy.

Like most leaders, you’re probably driven and goal-focused. That’s important to move your career and your business forward. But it also takes a toll on your body. In fact, long hours — particularly when you’re hunched over a computer — can affect not only your back but also your oxygen level, which in turn triggers stress, impacting your ability to think clearly and even how you interact with your co-workers.

In this podcast, we talk with personal trainer and yoga instructor Megan Nolan about simple steps you can take now to maintain and improve your health. Megan also talks about how she was able to differentiate her yoga studio from the many other yoga teachers in Maui by emphasizing health in the workplace and customizing programs to the specific needs of her corporate clients. Her messages are important for leaders concerned about their own health and future as well as the health, engagement and productivity of their teams. And it’s a critical message for you if you want to enjoy retirement and your legacy … because you want to take your health with you.
