Darrell Fick, a former competitive swimmer and University of Texas alumni, has had a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, but mentoring students is where he really enjoys spending his time. 

In episode 31, we talk to Darrell about leadership, careers, being a student athlete, managing family time and a busy work schedule, and maybe just a touch of the critical feelings that many people have about the pharmaceutical industry. 

Darius and Farra take a short break from guests to talk about the first quarter of 2021, plus they play a little game.
