What an amazingly lucid and compassionate interview. If only politicians were as sincere and introspective, then we may have a chance living in harmony with each other and our environment. One of the best interviews to date IMHO. .

It's like having a mentor whispering in your ears while you're stuck in traffic. Truly inspiring! 🙌

Leading is the MBA course you didn't know you needed! The interviews are like TED talks on steroids - thoughtful, impactful, and enlightening. Steward and Campbell, they really know what they are doing! They get their guests spilling wisdom left and right. 🙌🙌🙌
