244: A Google Search Got Him Fired with Shane Lukas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shane Lukas built his career on the belief that transparency, done right, protects you.

Read excerpt
Replaced by Three Employees and Called It a Badge of Honor with Amanda Van Der Heiden Amanda Van Der Heiden could trot on a horse before she could walk.
