About this episode

This episode discusses the connection between small towns and leadership principles from a notable book while reminiscing about local PNW places.

What do Conconully, WA and a book on leadership have to do with each other?! This episode of course! Coming off our awesome interview with Dean Pakinas last episode, we take a step back and reminisce on some local PNW places as well as discuss some principles from the book "It's Your Ship" by Michael Abrashoff. The laughter is free. You're welcome. Brews: Melipona BBA Stout by OldSchoolhouse Brewery (out of Winthrop, WA) Beneath Covered Bridges Imperial Stout by Wayward Lane Brewing and Timber Ales
