EP05 - Breaking Bad… and Bread Bare Leadership

“Breaking Bad… and Bread” with Bare Leadership


Leaders need to have strong relationships and a wide network of folks to rely on and serve for. In this episode, we discuss what it takes to be a master connector. We talk about what we do to create and stay on top of our relationships, stories about people who are masters at this, and even how introverts can propel themselves.
