Teach Me to Fish "Helping Leaders understand what drives People‪"‬ Matt Leclair

This episode is about "Why we serve?"  It is a compilation of multiple conversations with a collection of People who have chosen to serve, who they are, and what influenced them.  
You'll hear from Cole Keck, Clay Cashman, Vincent Torres, Jesse Swinehart, Donald Neal, and Josh Knight.  Each brings a unique experience growing up and what led them to serve. 

This is the first part of several episodes to capture the stories and thoughts of Gen Z and what influences them. 

I'd love to get your feedback on the structure of this episode and future episodes where we share the rest of their stories. 



Why Teach Me to Fish?
Catch someone a fish, feed them for a day.

Our purpose is to help Leaders better understand what drives People to serve. In any organization, the core of recruiting and retaining talent revolves around leadership. And not just average leadership, but motivated, values-based, inspirational leadership.

Habits like Getting up early, working your butt off, learning something new, Being positive and Surrounding yourself with phenomenal People.
