I’m Santos Picacio, and I have been leading men and women in some capacity for the past 30 years. I’m a retired military officer from Southern Texas and decided to settle down with my lovely wife here in the Lilac City of Spokane, WA. I decided to make a podcast because many organizations are taking on new leaders and expecting them to “lead” yet not showing them how to do so. I wanted to make a podcast that could “virtually” teach, coach, and mentor other junior and senior leaders across various organizations. Ask me questions, leave comments (both good and bad) and bring topics to me that you’d like me to discuss. Leadership is a two-way learning model; being able to collaborate with listeners, peers, and senior leaders alike, I’ve learned so much! Thank you for stopping by and giving me a listen! Sincerely, Santos G. Picacio Jr.Creator & Host - Charlie Mike

    I had the honor of sitting with my dear friend and restaurant owner, Mr. David Hayes, owner, and operator of North Hill on Garland Restaurant. I asked him some tough questions about where he started, his leadership philosophies, and how he leads his team in a very competitive and sometimes unforgiving industry. David was candid, gentlemanly, and shared some very intimate portions of his life that shed some light on traditional leadership traits that, if used correctly, never waiver and are still value-added today!  www.northhillongarland.com
