Episode Synopsis
Life and business are shaped by power and influence.
They are essential forces that drive decision-making, build connections, and create lasting impact. Understanding how to wield these forces effectively can be the key to unlocking opportunities and driving meaningful change.

How recruiting industry experts can drive business growth
The importance of self-leadership before leading others
