I think we can all agree that creating a culture of integrity in our workplaces in important. We want to be able to trust the people we work for and work with.

That doesn’t just have to be regarding just manufacturing, but the fact that a company strives to have integrity on the whole. My guest today is creating and leading...

8/26/2020
There’s a lot of debate these days around the topic of masks…no, I’m not talking about Covid masks right now, I’m talking about the proverbial masks that a lot of us put on. Maybe we are putting on a mask that says that we think we’re perfect or our life hasn’t been hard, or maybe we’re hiding things in our past.

Who is an adult in your life that made a positive impact on you; the person you know helped make you who you are today?
