Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan, here to bring you another edition of three more

0:08.9

questions with David Novak. And David, before we get started with our official three questions,

0:13.3

I got to ask you, and you got to be honest. Are you sports better? No, I learned the hard way that

0:18.9
