For so long women have had the proverbial glass ceiling when it came to moving up the executive ranks into the “C” suite of top chiefs. As you will hear on this week’s show, Best Buy now has more women than men in executive ranks which is a good thing. We talk about this, and much more, on this week’s podcast.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott and Phil Wilson.
