Studying CEO's, Data Businesses, and Chief of Staff Roles - Alex Bridgeman and Chris Powers Ep,210

This week, we are running the episode I did with Chris Powers on the Fort podcast where I was a guest on that show, and in this episode, we talked all about my background, my interest in data, the podcast, and all kinds of other things that kinds of weird theories I have about restaurants too near the end!

This is a good episode showcasing not only the origin of this podcast, but also a good friend of mine, Chris Powers, his podcast, which I think is awesome, especially if you're into real estate. But it's also helpful if you're not, he's got episodes covering all kinds of areas of business and life and he's a really close friend of mine and a podcast that I really enjoy listening to.

Listen weekly and follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Breaker, and TuneIn.
