Joe, thanks for the summary! I listened to part of it yesterday, before I had to motor on to kid-duty, and intend to finish this weekend. I love Carol Roth and this topic, in particular. I don’t know if you caught my post on the Business Roundtable, but many of these same issues were raised there by business leaders and owners. It seems so obvious sometimes, yet so very complicated. Thanks for bringing more attention to this topic and for cranking out great podcasts!
Here’s the link to that post – hope you don’t mind – it’s just extremely relevant! http://www.allisondevelopmentgroup.com/blog/2011/10/lets-gather-round-the-business-roundtable/

@EricaAllison hey Erica, glad you were able to start the process, feel free to return and update when you finish it. I did read your post about the Business Roundtable and I am glad you shared it here, I hope people interested in this subject will take the time to read it also. I quietly snuck in a related post yesterday, didn’t tweet or share it and I have a “pre-qual” to that post drafted already. It’s definitely time to get this conversation going. People like donledoux and caroljsroth ground me, I am grateful for their leadership in this area.
