Edwin Vega is one very cool man with a great story to tell...

At the tender age of 12, Edwin left home in Cleveland, Ohio for a boarding school in Hershey, Pennsylvania - and an ongoing adventure that weaves from singing in school choirs to operatic stages, from corporate training rooms to New York City, including a stop at the Grammys because, you know, that's what happens...

In this, Part 1 of our two-part conversation, Edwin shares his personal story including his work in the arena of diversity, equity and inclusion - and what singing in front a very large audience has to do with leadership.

Enjoy!
