My guest for this 74th Episode of the Podcast is Don Yaeger.

Don is an Award-Winning Leadership Speaker, Executive Coach, New York Times Best-Selling Author, business owner, podcast host, and dear friend. In this episode, we share a unique and far-reaching conversation between two friends.

Our friendship started with a chance encounter at a Channel Reseller News Event a dozen years back. I've had the privilege of working with Don on many occasions. Both at Microsoft and again when I led the Global Partner Program at Blackbaud.

Don has authored 32 books and 11 New York Times Best Sellers, building a body of work around greatness and leadership.

He also coaches business leaders, has developed courses for top executives, is an award-winning speaker, and recently started "The Corporate Competitor Podcast".

Don Lives in Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife Jeanette and two beautiful children.

Most recently, Don was struck with COVID 19 and was hospitalized for about nine days. In this episode, we discuss how this life-threatening experience has impacted his life and his family.

We also explore the business principles that universally apply to all aspects of the business, including great partnerships as Don has coached and worked with many great partner business leaders throughout his career. 

I chose the title of this episode because I believe that we all have the opportunity to learn and grow despite our circumstances.

Don's very personal and private experience has impacted him and his family. Toward the end of the interview, Don asks, "how will we each emerge differently when this pandemic is done?"

I want to thank Don for his willingness to share his personal experience with Covid. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed spending time with Don Yaeger.
