In this episode Joe:

Admits that he became a better broadcaster when he stopped caring what others thought of his work
Says that we make our biggest impressions when not trying to be impressive 
Reminds us that everybody at whatever age wants to feel valued
Tells us that impact as a pinwheel effect
Explains his goal as an author and a speaker is to provide tools all of us can use to be more aware and intentional
Says employees are looking for three things. They want to work for a successful company. They want an opportunity to grow, and they want a company that cares about them and the communities they serve
Shares a great story about former Minnesota Twins great Joe Mauer
And even asks you to identify the faces you would put up on your own Mount Rushmore

Joe is entertaining, insightful, and forthcoming. Enjoy.
