Customer Reviews
A great listen!
Glad I stumbled on this show.
Effective Leadership
It was an honor to join this episode and discuss some important facets of effective leadership. Often leaders struggle due to an unwillingness to examine themselves. Effective leadership is personal, and we discussed how these skills can be honed even amidst the busy lives of entrepreneurship. This short episode packs a powerful punch–grab a notebook and a pen because you will want to return to these gems over and over.
Master interviewers!
I just listened to the Cory Pinegar interview re VA's. First, you did an amazing job of highlighting his skill set and Value Proposition. And second, I liked his point of "Avoid the worker bunnies" - they burn out.
