What Interviewing 100 Business Leaders Was Like
Personally interviewing 100 business people was always going to be a challenge. The first interview was released on 12th January 2016 and the 100th and final episode released on 18th June 2017, taking 523 days. It felt like doing a real-life MBA degree, so this book is all of those insights concentrated into an eight-hour read.




What I Learned Along The Way
To be a business hero and lead a tribe of people through the unknown, it takes courage, determination, and passion and those are the character attributes of the people that came through from the questions and answers on the podcast. While every moment of courage shared was different and the length of determination varied, the passion was unwavering.
