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

0:08.7

questions with David Novak. David, how you doing today? I'm doing great, Kula. Let's go. Well, today we're

0:14.1

taking a deeper dive into your conversation with Mike McCoy. He's the area president of Gallagher

1:19.1

but I'll tell you what, he's got a competitive drive and a work ethic that sets him apart.
