Excellent listen for emerging & current Sr leaders

Out of all the podcasts that claim to provide insightful, current, meaningful, and actionable executive-level dialog, Peter nocks it out of the park. He lines up the pitch as an excellent question and sits back for us all to listen as the guests hit grand slams after home runs. Great information where the moderator doesn't get in the way 👍🏼👍🏼
