#6 - Brian Smith: Agility and character: for work and for play.

Brian coaches agility development for BigBear.ai. Our conversation starts in Guam, includes the Wright brothers, and ends with family karate. We also discuss:

- managing vs coaching

- listening to and learning from your employees

- efficient employees vs. high value employees

- the cost (and benefit?) of standing by your principles

- decisions from long ago that affect decisions we make today

- The Goal by Eli Goldratt (two thumbs up)

- Mike's Pastries in Boston
