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

0:08.6

questions with David Novak. David, how are you today? It's great to have you back on the show.

0:13.1

I'm doing great, Kula, and I'm really looking forward to diving into our conversation that we had with

0:18.3

Joe Mowgli, the former CEO of TD Ameritrade, and a renowned football

coach at Coastal Carolina. This guy has one of the most unique resumes of anybody we've ever

1:42.6

So what I always try to do is make sure that I see all aspects

1:47.6

of every situation that I'm evaluating before I make a decision. And that really forces me to
