Ep. 210: Cornell Football shaped Jimmy Pitaro who honed his leadership skills as a wide receiver! If you ask him what he misses most about his playing days, it’s not the competition or the glory—it’s the huddle. Why? Because the huddle is where you come together, make decisions, and leave aligned.

In this episode, Jimmy shares how he applies his “Discuss, debate, decide, and align” model to his weekly leadership meetings.
