Not many people are able to have a highly successful career in politics, higher education, and business in their lifetime, but our latest Walker Webcast guest did just that. Willy was joined by Mitch Daniels, Former Governor of the State of Indiana and President Emeritus of Purdue University.
He and Willy discussed the details of his notable career - including his time as an executive at Eli Lilly and Company, deciding to run for governor of Indiana, and leaving politics to enter the higher education sphere - how he managed to find success in three distinct sectors, leadership lessons he’s learned along the way, next steps for the future, and much more.
