Fearless – Leadership Lessons at the Crossroads is a collection of Steve’s weekly updates to his team. Reading it is like putting yourself right there in the moment. Steve returns to Status Go to talk about the lessons he learned from the struggles during 2020 and 2021. If you enjoy this episode, we invite you to tune into Steve’s previous Status Go episode.
