    Increases leadership skills, avoids risk, relates to everyone. I’m on #30 at 66 years old I am still learning. Podcast allows you to pause and think. Almost all episodes touch a piece of you in some way. I have been promoting this podcast to my friends & staff for a few months now. Never heard back? Everyone’s level of need or interests differ. I will probably watch again. Yeah it’s that good for me.
