257 The One About Lollipop Moments

Published: June 24, 2022, 5 a.m.

For those long-time listeners, you know that I love learning and talking about Leadership, and I love bringing guests on the podcast who can share their leadership knowledge and expertise with you, which is why I couldn't wait to share this interview with you!

My guest today is Drew Dudley, a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, educator, and speaker. A mentor of mine introduced me Drew\u2019s TEDx Talk \u201cLeading with Lollipops\u201d a few years ago, and since then I have shared Drew\u2019s Talk with dozens of people. If you haven\u2019t watched it yet, I encourage you to do it now. We have a link to Drew\u2019s TEDx Talk below.

Drew Dudley is someone who has a refreshing perspective on leadership and he is an excellent storyteller. The first time I met him, I couldn\u2019t stop smiling, and hopefully by the end of this episode you\u2019ll feel empowered to be an extraordinarily intentional leader.

Bottom line: Drew Dudley is going to inspire you to become a new kind of leader.\xa0

Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.\xa0

Thinking On Water With James:

In this week\u2019s episode, we\u2019re thinking about the shelf life of industrial-strength sodium hypochlorite or bleach. How long will a drum of sodium hypochlorite last? What factors can impact its shelf life? Do heat and light have an impact?\xa0 Will contact with certain metals have an impact? What is chemically happening to the sodium hypochlorite to reduce its shelf life? What are the possible consequences of feeding it after it is beyond its shelf life? How does understanding the shelf life of sodium hypochlorite impact the volume ordered when usage rate is considered? Take this week to think about the shelf life of industrial-strength sodium hypochlorite and what it may mean to you.\xa0
