Episode 11

In this podcast you will hear his insights into Authentic Leadership. He talks about why he demoted himself as Managing Partner to Partner, even taking a pay-cut! How many leaders would do that? He also discusses what took him from Chicago to Ho Chi Minh City and his love of quantum physics when trying to understand the origins of everything. Join us as we converse about religion, language and 80’s music!
