The Jon Gordon Podcast

This episode is an extremely important conversation between Jon, M. Quentin Williams - a former FBI agent and federal prosecutor, and Steve Stowe of the Miami Heat. It's about a Pioneering Police Partnership between The Miami Heat, the Miami Police Department, and D2C (which Quentin is the founder of).
