Best books, podcasts, or apps for aspiring leaders: It’s your ship by Captain Michael Abramov, Talk Like Ted by Carmine Gallo.

Best advice for new leaders: Be authentic, support your team’s success, make sure the best of you is on full display, always ask your team to be better than you are.

In the last 12 months what was one of the biggest challenges you faced as a leader and how did you overcome it?

During this time, I led from the front and by example, maintaining high energy and a positive outlook that “it could be done.”
