Tim Baechle, CEO of Idealliance, discusses the industry and “the man in the arena”: it is not the critic who counts, but rather those that choose to dare greatly. Logic, learning, practice, and getting to the root of what matters is where we find our answers, our purpose, and is how we learn and grow. Pivot on fact, not conjecture because there is a natural sequence to nature, including human nature. Creativity is not a lightning strike: it is agony and it is worth it. Be bold, brash, and brave and get in the arena. Guest: Tim Baechle, Idealliance CEO.
