Before a strategy becomes a success story, it's a judgement call.
For 35 years, Jimmy Allen has been in the room with the world's most consequential CEOs, and this season, he's bringing you inside those conversations.
Twelve leaders. Twelve moments that tested everything they thought they knew about leading. And one question that keeps coming back: it's not just what the CEO should do. It's who the CEO needs to become.
Founder's Mentality: The CEO Sessions, Season Two is here.
