Pastor Mike Linch and his podcast Linch with a Leader has served as a template for what Josh and I have wanted to build with our show. Mike leaves every room better than he found it and helps others close their own capability gap and reach their true full potential whether it be at the office or at home. Today we get the great pleasure of sitting down with Mike for a fun and powerful conversation about both life and leadership and we are very grateful that you have decided to join us today.
