Read excerpt
Barry Jacobson once ironed Bob Iger's shirt. He also started out as a lifeguard, held nearly 30 different roles, and spent 37 years inside The Walt Disney Company.

Read excerpt
Why do two people facing the same pressure react in completely opposite ways? Why do some leaders build trust in a room while others quietly drain it? On this episode of Amplify Hope Today, Simon T.
