  • Solid follow

    Always a nice dose of productivity to work into rotation. Nice to learn from someone still fighting in the business trenches. Good to get perspective from a leadership/management role that isn’t an upper level CEO gazillionaire telling me to work harder, sleep less, and stay focused! Appreciate the perspective and the added productivity to the podcast rotation. Cheers!
