Aug 19, 2018

I met today’s guest as he drove me and Steve Levy to a dinner hosted by Gerry Crispin in Nashville a few weeks back while i was at the Jobg8 summit...afterwards he also introduced me to Nashville's best dive bar and then the day after he invited me to hang out in the offices of IQ Talent before my flight left. We had time to have lunch, and commiserate for an afternoon while overlooking the Nashville skyline.
