Hi Tribe! I decided it was time to do something different on the show. I've given the mic over to my dear friend Dan McPherson to interview me.
We discuss how the authoritarian leader model is finally shifting and why that's great for the future of business and how we all work, I share why it is important for leaders to have core values, my secret planning strategies for making long term goals stick and how my kids have taught me more about leadership than any book, course or program I've take.
