The Business Ownership Podcast

Are you managing or truly leading your team? What can military leadership teach us about running a successful business?

In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Dr. Anthony Simmons. He is the founder and owner of Sixth Gear Consulting, LLC, which is a leadership performance consulting practice that instructs leaders on how to lead through bridging People and Technology.
