Educational & Motivating

I’ve added this podcast to my must listen to list due to the educational message and motivation I feel after listen. As a young leader, I am constantly thinking about my leadership and impact I have on the employees who work for me. I use this podcast as a resource to learn and develop those skills, plus I also find it quite entertaining.

Makes Drive Time, Fly Time!

Best Boss Ever hits me where I live. It reminds me of past glories and gets me excited about the future of live entertainment, sports, branded entertainment and entrepreneurship. Carl is a great interviewer and his guests are authentic, fun and savvy. Launched in a COVID world, the series also looks toward life post-COVID with some of the brightest minds. Carl was my boss at Universal Studios and my “best boss ever.” That was 20 years ago and he left there to earn that title over and over again in different jobs. Best Boss Ever is a lot of fun!
