Louis Marchetti, a longtime investor and business advisor, lived life in the fast lane until a near-death experience from a sudden cardiac arrest jolted him to reassess his priorities.  It's a common misconception among high achievers that a jam-packed schedule equates to success; any downtime implies lost momentum.
