The eleventh episode of my new podcast series, Strategy and the Fat Smoker, is now live and available for download.

The series is dedicated to exploring the themes found in my new book by the same name. Each chapter will be accompanied by an executive summary ebook covering the same material. I encourage you to forward these to friends and associates who may be interested in the topics covered. If you are already a subscriber to my podcast feed, this pdf will be available in your itunes.

In A Natural Manager, the 12th episode in this series, we will hear the story of Jerry Labbate, the manager of an exercise gym in downtown Boston.  The story of Jerry's intuitive management style is rich with lessons for managers in all fields.  We will summarize the key points to help maximize your managerial effectiveness.
