In the recent history of my life, there is no one person who has had a greater impact on my development as an individual than Vance.
During Covid, we started working together on The Vance Crowe Podcast, with me acting as executive producer. From there, we did some consulting projects for institutions such as regional banks and executive networking organizations. Finally, in 2022, we started Legacy Interviews together. Vance has since bought me out. We talk about this among other things in the interview.
