In the second-in-command podcast, we talked to top COOs who share the insights, strategies,

and tactics that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Herald.

Hi, I'm Cameron Herald, welcome to the Second Command podcast.

Today I want to share highlights of several podcasts that I've been featured on.
