About First Hundred Days

From the publisher's feed

First Hundred Days is a podcast where we discuss the idea that if the first hundred days of a presidency are important, they're likely to be important for any other career and life move. We'll speak with CEO's, first time parents, start-up bros and more, to learn if the first hundred days are really that important.
