This podcast is all about leadership! Each week, I will select a different topic of leadership and discuss it in 10 minutes. Why 10 minutes? Because we are all busy in this day and age, so I chose to create a short and uplifting weekly podcast for aspiring leaders, established leaders, and anyone who's interested in leadership at large.

Oren Hertz, Ph.D.
