Thanks to local entrepreneur Steven Kanner of www.kannerkarts.com for donating the fine Frisbee.

By Leela KumiliIn this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Tara Hernandez about the importance of building generative cultures with strong leadership development, psychological safety, diversity, and transparency over simply chasing new technologies.
