Jason Garner is a father, husband, former concert promoter and spiritual student who spent the first 37 years of his life working his way up from flea market parking attendant to executive at a Fortune 500 company – an impressive feat that took countless hours of energy, hard work, and dedication. As the former CEO of Global Music at Live Nation, he worked with rock stars and sports legends, and was twice named to Fortune Magazine’s list of the top 20 highest paid executives under 40. Sounds pretty great… unless you consider the fact that Jason firmly adhered to the belief that in order to be loved, he had to be the best at everything that he did.

Here’s Jason with some of the best tips, tricks, and lessons he’s learned about finding peace from within…
