Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan, here to bring you another episode of three more questions with David Novak.

0:10.0

David, it's great to be back on the show with you. How are you today?

0:12.7

I'm doing great Kula, and I'm looking forward to having this conversation that we're going to have about the conversation I had with David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, a terrific guy.

0:22.6

He's incredible. This interview is so fun, and one of the most fun parts of it is when you asked him about his side career as a DJ,

0:30.6

which came as a surprise to me, but he's played pretty big venues. I think last summer he played at Lollapaloozo, which I feel like

0:39.5

is every artist's dream. And he's already crossed it off of his venue list. I think it's great.

1:26.4

a lot of times. And, you know, I'm sure he probably

1:29.0

gets a little bit of heat for being a disc jockey. But the fact of the matter is, is that he's

1:34.6

following a passion that he has. And you know what? All of us cannot work 24-7. We've got to get

1:42.4

away from our work every now and then and do something that lets us blow

1:46.9

off some steam, you know, get reset so that we can come back to work on Monday or Sunday,

1:53.3

if the case may be, you know, and get done what needs to get done. And I'll tell you one thing,
