How to Create Real Change: Smashing the Plateau with David Shriner-Cahn
David Shriner-Cahn hosts the Smashing the Plateau podcast and today he released our conversation, “How to Create Real Change.”
As fellow New Yorkers, David and I have met in person many times since my first time on his show, including at events he’s organized through his firm, TEND Strategic Partners, which helps small firms and entrepreneurs advance.
Being friends makes the conversation more open and friendly. I talk more about developing my upcoming podcast, Leadership and the Environment.
Here are the show notes:
Today we welcome back Joshua Spodek, founder of Spodek Academy and bestselling author of Leadership Step by Step.
