Tony Ebel ,

Can’t get enough of this one!

Really love how it starts with family and origin stories each time, and how each person interviewed shares the key attributes of being humble, hungry and driven, servant minded, and always adapting and situationally aware! So many lessons learned each time on how apply each of those things consistently across business and personal life.
