In this episode, Donald sits down with Bob Batchelor, award-winning author of Stan Lee: A Life and The Bourbon King, to discuss his new book, The Authentic Leader. Bob is VP of Global Marketing and Communications at Workplace Options. Unlike many leadership books, often written by CEOs, Bob blends his expertise in strategic communication with lessons learned on the front lines of corporate America. He and Don take a deep dive into why leaders should invest energy and effort in thought leadership using Don’s experiences as a case study. Tune in as we explore Bob’s journey from content creator to CEO whisperer, revealing what he has learned over three decades of being a spy in the business world.
