From Al’s first leadership role at age 14, to navigating loss early in his consulting career, to building a consulting practice rooted in empathy, curiosity, and context this conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply human. Together, they explore how leaders are shaped, how trust is built, and why curiosity matters more than authority in today’s workplace. What you’ll get from this episode: •Why curiosity is a leadership skill — not a personality trait •How early leadership mistakes shape better leaders later •The role empathy plays in high-pressure work environments •How to build meaningful professional relationships over time •Why leadership is more about others than yourself This episode is for leaders who care about doing it right, not just doing it fast.
