Listen Later

You think you know someone, and then you see them in a completely different context.

That was the case when I sat down with my friend, Mike Astell, CEO of FCDO Services.

In this latest episode of People & Pioneers, Mike and I did a deep dive into his move from corporate to public service, and the mindset shifts that came with it.

What stood out for me:

  • How to lean into your team’s cultural insight

  • Disrupting without losing hearts and minds

  • The power of delegation in driving acceleration

  • The lasting impact of mentorship, and how it compounds growth over time

Thanks, as always, for the great conversation and insights, Mike.
