While waiting for the newest season launching this fall, we have something special planned for your listening enjoyment. Get ready to revisit some of your favorite Eccles Business Buzz episodes with our timeless reruns.

In this episode from season 1, we hear from Greg Kennedy who graduated from the Eccles School in 1987 and is one of our most dedicated Eccles advisory board members. Greg recently retired as Senior Vice President of Airport Operations at Delta Airlines where he was responsible for some of the busiest airports in the world including our very own Salt Lake International.

Greg walks us through his family story and his experiences growing up, wrestling to go to college, and how he ended up at the University of Utah and eventually, the Eccles School.

He narrates his extensive experience working in the airline industry, some of the ups and downs, dealing with major crises like 9/11 and COVID-19, and the importance of leadership through it all.

Greg shares his definition of empathy and how his perspective has changed throughout his career. He also talks about the great attributes of a leader/mentor and the importance of having the right people to guide you in your journey.

Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University fm.
