The United Way Scandal and Silence—The Lisa Bowman Story

Every Podcast that Pete Havel offers is high quality and immensely useful! This particularly hit me hard as I have cared about the UnitedWay for 50 years! I wish there was a way to claw back the $4,000,000 payout they cave the top exec. for letting him go! That $4,000,000 is donor money that was meant for less fortunate folks!
Thanks Pete for what you are shining a light on to illuminate the darkest corners of corporate culture that needs to me eradicated!
