We touch on how the pandemic has challenged caregiving, the importance of providing children with secured independence, and how childhood influences can shape a person's approach to life.
Sports played a huge role in John's life as he would travel on the subway my himself to meet his father for NY Knicks games. He continues to be a huge fan of the NY Giants and shared many great memories cheering them on with his father.
John's love for cooking and his memorable experience at Bobby Flay's restaurant, made possible by the power of social media, adds a fantastic story to our conversation. We also talk about the importance of work-life balance, leadership, and well-being in the workplace.
