83. The Biggest Problem With Thanksgiving

Nov 23, 2021

Welcome to another episode of the Leadership in a Nutshell podcast. Today's episode is going to be about the problem with Thanksgiving. Now, I don’t have anything against it, but I do have a few things that I want to remind you about as we head over to the holidays, be merry with our friends and family, and stuff ourselves with turkey.
