  • David just nails it

    David just nails it. As great of a CEO as he is, he might just be a better podcast host. He asks thoughtful questions, steers the conversation beautifully, and I learn something every time I listen. It’s been so much fun watching this podcast grow!

  • How do you evolve?

    Loved the framework for how do you evolve. Mindset required. A leader needs to have strong convictions but be ready to let go if /when new info comes along. Proactively seek out new info ALL the time…read voraciously, talk to customers, peers, network, direct reports, etc. be a sponge. High impact podcast David. Keep em coming!
