Great breakdown of Business Intel for contracting.
My favorite episode so far is episode 4. The leadership concepts highlighted come across as genuine and authentic. The host does a great job asking probing questions, and the production quality is fantastic. Looking forward to hear from more places outside of WPAFB. More episodes please :)
