In this episode I interview Aiko Bethea. She is the founder of RARE Coaching & Consulting as well as an attorney, leader, builder, and a New York Times bestselling author. Through her work, she coaches leaders and organizations to remove the internal and external barriers to inclusion, allowing them to understand each other as people, colleagues, and teams in more connective ways. In our conversation, Aiko and I discuss what makes an effective leader, learning how to utilize action for things that are necessary instead of acting out of impulse, and what work-life balance really is like for in-the-trenches entrepreneur.
