Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just getting started in the role, there’s a good bet there are aspects of your leadership that can be strengthened when you do the hard work on yourself.

Josh Spodek: Bringing Your Passions to Life
Where have all the entrepreneurs gone? We seem to be producing less of them each year. Josh Spodek says this is due in part our educational system that teaches compliance at the expense of pursuing interests and passions in learning. He’s out to teach people to take initiative and pursue their passions all over their lives – and that entrepreneurship is available to virtually everyone. He’s our modern-day Galileo, with a PhD in Astro Physics and a heart for the environment, and is also on a mission to make sustainability a central concern for everyone – individuals, leaders, and companies across the world. We each have something important to teach and share to help others. Let’s find that passion and get you to work sharing it!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/working-on-purpose--2643411/support.
