“Mistakes Make Us Grow” (Interview)

Thanks to my friend Brian Buck (and his co-host Catalina Park) for having me as the first guest in their podcast series (in previous episodes, it's the two of them talking and sharing together).

Their podcast (also a YouTube channel) is called “People, Purpose, and Profit Business Coaching,” a great theme.

As Brian shared on LinkedIn:


They ask questions about my work and my career. I normally like talking about ideas more than I like talking about myself and my own path, but I appreciate the questions they asked and I think it was a good discussion.
