Hey there superstars, this is your host, Karan Ferrell Rhodes, and welcome to the second season of the Lead at the Top of Your Game Podcast, I hope that you have had a tremendous start to the new year thus far. And first off, I just want to say thank you so very much for taking a chance on us by being a loyal listener in by sharing our podcast with your friends. We had a wonderful launch of the podcast last year, and really learned a lot about this method of communication and information sharing. You know, both myself and my producers realize that while we weren’t always perfect, we continuously got better over time, due to our commitment of being at least 1% better than we were yesterday. And with that mindset, we hope that you will continue to find value by tuning in each week. So are you ready to hear more fantastic guests share their unique perspectives on exemplary leadership in their profession or industry? Well, if so we have an impressive lineup for this year on thought leaders who will continue to add tips to our ever growing leadership playbook of best practices. And also we have some exciting bonus segments that we’re going to feature throughout the year. And just as a teaser, I’ll share one with you today. Since one of the best ways to learn is to analyze the mistakes or missteps of others, we will sporadically featyre hot stories in the news and chat about leadership execution gone wrong. The segment is going to be called #LeadershipFail, which will be an interesting mix of the salaciousness of true crime stories with a “world of work or workplace” spin. So stay tuned for those segments. And lastly, you know, some of our best guests and story ideas come from you our listeners. So if you discover a great story or person that you think we should feature, be sure to email us at podcast@shockinglydifferent.com.  Or send me a message on LinkedIn or Twitter. That’s where I hang out the most and I can get it to our producers. And if you think you’ll be a great guest, don’t feel shy about nominating yourself, we’d love to consider you. And just as an FYI, our season runs from February to mid December each year. This allows the staff time off with their families during the holiday season, as well as it gives us space for our own strategic planning. So that we can come up with really interesting ideas on how we can while you during the upcoming podcast season. So thanks again for allowing us to be a small part of your lives each week, and continue to lead at the top of your own game. Take care and see you next week.
