Great interview Scot, and thanks for sharing the insight on your career journey.
I’d like to know what the car is in the photo.
Hope to see you in Detroit again this year!
Uplifting interview. Like the way he handled the question about his failure. Probably could have blamed some of “the others involved” but he didn’t. Obviously he takes his integrity seriously. Have him on again.
