Her dad passed in March. His three-letter rule - DYB, Do Your Best - still shapes how she leads today.
Episode Summary
In this episode of Privacy Perspectives, host Jodi Daniels marks her first Father's Day since her dad passed away in March by sharing seven life lessons he taught her, built around his three-letter philosophy: DYB, Do Your Best.
