At 13 years old, Joe Davis wrote a list of life goals. Fast forward decades later… it turned out to be the blueprint for his life!

For this episode of the Business of Joy, I had the pleasure of interviewing Joe Davis, Former Head of BCG North America and author of The Generous Leader!

We talked about the kind of leadership that actually moves people (and the needle): humble, curious, and human.

Some of the highlights from this episode:

📰 How a 6-year paper route taught accountability at 6am (and why showing up matters)

🔑 Why saying “I don’t know” can unlock creativity instead of stalling it

💞 What the pandemic taught him about empathy, perspective, and leadership at scale

👂 How properly listening to feedback from employees and teammates can help shape decisions and shift both morale and performance

If you lead teams (or aspire to) you’ll love this one.
