This is the first time I’ve had a comedian on this podcast and it was such a treat! Dusty Slay is currently in Nashville and has been on shows like Comedy Central, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. What I love about Dusty is how he has shown leadership in his life despite not being in a corporate world. This goes to show that leadership is not only about leading other people but also leading yourself.
