Earlier this year, Heinz Radio host, Sara Jackson was able to sit down with Sam and pick his mind on topics ranging from how his education at Heinz helped put him on a path to success, to general leadership strategies he has picked up over the years, and where the future of education policy may be going in the U.S.
