There I was ready to interview Laurie Guest and she hijacked my podcast and interviewed me!  It was great to share some of my own leadership experiences and philosophies and talk with someone so smart!  Seriously, Laurie is one of the smartest business people I know AND we’re both from the same area in Illinois (so we have a mid-west bond).  Take a listen to this week’s episode. You’ll enjoy it!
