Getting to know Clement King, you get the sense that his career trajectory was single  minded.

He spent 17 years in highly important roles guiding companies like Wells Fargo, HSBC, S&P Global, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Barclays Investment Bank, and Citi.  During that period, Clement was focused  on risk and business strategy. 

Then best-selling author Patrick Lencioni came to do a 3-day workshop. He had written "The Advantage. Why organizational health trumps everything else in business." 

But along the way, his eyes were also opened beyond risk and business strategy. 

Talk to Clement and you'll quickly understand that he's a sponge for knowledge.  Along the way he was invited to join a group called Badassery,  a private community of unconventional thought leaders dedicated to igniting change.

This is one of my longest podcasts, and it's worth it.

When I run into someone whose job title on LinkedIn is Chief Disruption Officer, I know the podcast will be terrific. 

Alan F3 Zorro Blakeborough did not disappoint. He is packed with energy and pulls people into his orbit simply based on his total optimism. 

While solving a critical issue for the accounting sector, he also identified another  totally overlooked issue.  A lack of succession planning in the accounting sector.  

Alan's LinkedIn profile shows at least 20 different businesses. He’s worked at, founded, and guided over 20 different companies – many of them in the accounting sector.

Jessica Wolf has had six jobs. All of them were focused on community building. She is a great example of finding a career path you like and sticking to it. Her latest is Skye, a platform for coaching and serving leaders and their teams.

A 2022 paper from Statista found the  United Kingdom and the United States spending the least on e-learning or business or life coaching.  (source) 

This fact and and Jessica's focus on growth prove she and Skye are in the right place at the right time. 

In this podcast, Jessica opens up about some difficulties she had, opportunities to get her around the problems, and how much she depended on her very capable team members.

By carefully listening to their growing members, the Skye team heard a need that would make their businesses more successful and free them up to chase more clients. You'll like this approach.

One of my favorite moments in this podcast was when Jessica breezed past the fact that she was honored as a Forbes 30 Under 30. For such an accomplished CEO, she is incredibly modest.
