Episode #20: The Importance of a Good Pacesetter in Life

When a marathon runner wants to break a personal record, set a new world record, or just finish a race strong, his coach will select pacesetters that run alongside him during the race to ensure he keeps a pace that allows him to meet his goal. In life, it is just as important that we have men around us that are challenging us, encouraging us, and holding us accountable so that we will be successful in life’s important areas.

In today’s show, Rick and Rusty discuss the importance of having pacesetters, the qualities of a good pacesetter, and why we should be pacesetters for others.
