There is a podcast for everyone out there, but from the viewpoint of the male executive assistant, not so much. I’ve been an assistant for more than 20-years. Being a man, in what is decidedly a role filled by women, has put me in some insightful, some hilarious and certainly some very unique situations. So please join me as I bring you into my world: the world of the male admin.
