Brett Ledbetter - Founder What Drives Winning on Redefining Success in Sports & Life
Q: Can you share that moment when Coach Gundy and Coach Stoops showcased how external praise can be misinterpreted?
There was a story about people bowing to Coach Gundy and a statue unveiling for Coach Stoops; the takeaway is that praise and criticism say more about the observer than the person being celebrated, and leaders must decide whether to embrace an engaged fan base despite the inevitable criticism.

Q: Can you describe your transition from Wall Street to building the Museum of Ice Cream and the hurdles you faced?
