Chats with Clark
by Chats with Clark
"I'm a mindset guy," I often tell people when describing the content of the podcast. During a Chats with Clark episode, we will engage a conversation about mindsets and ideas that actually matter in the world. The rationale behind our actions, the "why" in what we do, brings us together. It's those mindsets that affect our view of the world. At the end of each episode, I hope that all of us are better than we were before thinking about the topics of that day. Thank you for tuning in!
