| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, and welcome back to Be You with BU. There are no coincidences in life, right? |
| 0:06.5 | Find out what happens when Brian accidentally attends the wrong meeting in episode 91 of |
| 0:12.2 | BU with BU. What an earthworm taught me about leadership. |
| 0:29.2 | What's going to dictate your success is how efficiently and effectively you can lead yourself and lead others. |
| 0:35.3 | And when you think of leadership, all of us have a different perception of leadership. |
| 0:36.6 | I'll give you an example. |
| 0:41.2 | Back, I guess, in 1997, maybe it was 1998, I was supposed to do a really big meeting. And if you would have asked me, I was really |
