  • Scott Mahoney interview.

    Jimmy,

    Just listened to you and Scott. As you know he’s authentic…. and just a great person. (not afraid to make tough decisions, by the way) Not as easy as he made it sound. Shows how one person can affect an entire business….. while giving credit to everyone else. He took me along for the ride for about 20 years.

    Congrats- great Podcast!Denny DeMarino
