Leaders are not and cannot be made overnight. If anything, leadership success can only be attained through years of motivation and dedication, sprinkled with challenges and sacrifices. Dr. Tracey Jones interviews Mark Victor Hansen, who is a living example of this. The author of the best-selling book series Chicken Soup for the Soul, Mark looks back on his career's challenges and how his skills embedded in leadership made him an author publishing several books, ventured into podcasting, spent time in charity, and even licensed books. He also talks about how politics and the government affects our decision making and why writing and reading are important ingredients in making a true, effective leader.
