Another excellent podcast from the mind of Don Carpenter. Thoughtful, inspiring, and fun to listen to.
This came at a time when I really need some clarity on leadership in my own life. I guess I will be sitting in silence. What an amazing episode to reflect on Don! I can’t wait to listen to the others.
This was such an insightful and eye opening podcast. I loved how Don framed the ideas of leading through silence and getting comfortable in your own quiet space. His guest Jack also provided real life experiences. Super excited this is a new series and look forward to many more!
I enjoyed your first podcast immensely and am so very proud of you!
