    I’ve been following Marcel’s podcast for years and have experienced his show both through a listener’s lens and as a guest. For many people human-centered-leadership is the flavor of the day, but Marcel is truly committed to creating change. His conversations are always engaging, he asks fantastic questions that get to the heart of what matters and I always learn something new.
