And before that date, there are memories you want to make, places you want to explore, people you want to meet, and an impact you want to create. The only way to accomplish this before you expire is to reach your full potential. If you're a student that is serious about reaching your potential and living a healthy, happier and more productive life, this show is for you. The High Performing Student Podcast is hosted by entrepreneur, speaker and High-Performance Coach, Sam Demma. Follow along as he shares his personal stories and interviews the world's top performers to bring you actionable tools and strategies to help you become real-world ready.
