Episode 023: AJ Hawk – Why Does This Show Exist? What Does The Future Hold?
One of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had doing this podcast. My brother AJ and I discuss why I am doing this podcast. AJ has no fear to ask me anything and dives deep into my “Why” and we discuss how this show will progress…
From The “About Me” page on www.LearningLeaderShow.com
Leaders are learners. The best leaders never stop working to make themselves better. As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.” That’s really why the Learning Leader Show exists. To come together to understand the journey successful leaders are on so that we can better understand our own.
This Show is full of stories told by world class leaders. Personal stories of successes, failures and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—some are best-selling authors, others are genius entrepreneurs and one even made a million dollars wearing t-shirts for a year. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the smartest, most creative, always-learning leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we create our own journey.
