We feel that this is the case for today's guest; Anthony Nathan - Owner & Operator of Tamby Foods.

Since joining the Leadership Academy at BU Anthony has not only successfully navigated the upheavals of COVID-19, he has also implemented important and meaningful changes to the culture at Tamby including: Rolling out clear and actionable company values Upskilling and developing his management and leadership team Forming a healthier relationship with work for himself If you're a small business owner, or you work in a family-run business, then this is a very relatable and impactful interview to listen to.
