#39 Rocky Zapata: Simple Rules of Leadership

Welcome back y'all! This is an episode we recorded during the great Texas Snowstorm. Rocky was courageous enough to fly to the studio from Miami before I was the one who got stuck in terrible weather and needed to record from home.  This was still an incredible conversation, Rocky and I dive into leadership, a great message to the Latino team at Pederson's, faith, failure, fatherhood and a whole lot more.
