On this episode of the Playbook, I have Arnold Donald,

president and CEO of Carnival Corporation,

the world's largest cruise company.

And we're going to talk about how to deal with the challenges that he's faced

during the pandemic. And most importantly, the diversity of thinking.

Join me for all this and more on the Playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook.

For each week, I bring you some of the greatest athletes,

celebrities and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal

and professional playbook to success and what made them champions

on the field and in the boardroom. I'm your host, David Meltzer.

I have an incredible CEO of Carnival Corporation,

Arnold Donald, which is easy for me to say, welcome to the playbook.

I'm glad to be with you today, looking forward to the chat.

You know, you have such an extraordinary background.

First of all, coming from one of my favorite cities in the world,

I went to Tulane Law School.

So my daughter went to Tulane, she graduated early.

You're from New Orleans. And so I want to start off

and the culture of New Orleans and how that shaped who you were

in the imagination portion of what it is.
