Work is Worship w/John Tutor

Welcome to The Cory Lee Show, where we focus on building leaders and transforming culture.
In this episode, Cory sits down with special guest John Tutor, an entrepreneur and owner of Ultimate Pest Solutions. 
John opens up about his childhood, from his parents' split to the influential role his grandfather played in his life, especially after the passing of John's father when he was just 13. He also shares how volunteering at a special needs camp is where he met his wife, and they later gave birth to a daughter with Down syndrome.
The two discuss John's journey of personal growth and development. As someone who previously struggled with self-love and unhealthy coping mechanisms, John shares how actively seeking self-improvement through podcasts and learning from successful people helped him take control of his thoughts and actions to create the results he wanted in fitness, business and life. 
Motivated by the loss of family members, John took a leap of faith to start his own pest control company, Ultimate Pest Solutions, with the goal of leaving a positive legacy. He shares how building confidence, taking small steps, and staying curious and coachable have marked his path.
John and Cory also dive into the power of transforming from a selfish to a selfless mindset through serving, encouraging and learning from others. They highlight the book "The Go-Giver" and its impact on shifting to a service-oriented approach focused on giving value and building relationships.
