Episode description
My guest today is Joel Peterson, one of the best business teachers in the world. He attended Harvard Business School and served as CEO of the Trammell Crow when it was the largest private commercial real estate development firm in the world. He then went on to serve as the chairman of JetBlue Airways for 12 years.
Joel has launched or backed over 250 companies. Many of these companies are household names like Bonobos, Trunk Club, Asurion, & Vivint.
He is recently authored a book called Entrepreneurial Leadership. As he says, it is about the art of launching new ventures, inspiring others, and running stuff!
