Mike shares the importance of mobilizing forums where good decisions are made, and how he views his job as less decision-maker and more convener, using the power of diverse networks of people who think differently to come up with better solutions.

Mike has a powerful personal story and shares his WHY (purpose), which ties perfectly with the business he's in with Unum ... plus, he has the funniest answer to date for the personal BHAG question at the end of the episode.
