Listen my notebook ready to go. Brimming with ideas.
Great pod to be in. Wanted to revisit the episode in which Matt talks about his trip to Middle East but couldn’t find. Is it deleted?
A beautiful space for APS nerds just like me. A proud APS employee for over 20 years I am loving hearing from colleagues and can’t believe it took me so long to find this. Frantically playing catch up on past episodes.
Thanks so much for the great platform and conversation!! You are an absolute ROCK STAR!!
A thought provoking topic that has me considering my own cultural norms and biases. I’d love another interview with Lisa after she is secretary and has implemented a program of change.
Very interesting. Would like to hear more from APS Academy about the programs under development.
