Ukrainian Leadership with Roman ShulyarToday we have the privilege of hearing from Transactional Lawyer from the Ukraine - Roman Shulyar, however, he is no longer practising law. He is now enrolled in the Ukrainian Army. He is currently fighting for the freedom of his loved ones, and his country. He is a normal person, just like you and I, who was going about his life believing that Ukraine was a peaceful country.

Yet, here we are.Roman talks about his beliefs around how and why war starts, and what we all need to be aware of. This is definitely a tough episode to listen to, but Roman shares one of the most important messages in it.

So, together with a few friends, he solved this problem using AI, and that's how Evabot was born. Visit Evabot here - https://www.evabot.com ----Full Transcript, Quote Cards, and a Show Summary are available here:https://www.jjlaughlin.com/blogSend me a personal text messageJoin me at the 2026 Goal-setting Workshop here - jjlaughlin.com/2026goalsSupport the show
