Ten bowling pins lined up

I learn from every conversation I have with Cambia’s outgoing CEO, Mark Ganz — lucky for everyone, we recorded this latest one! Here’s a quote I loved: “A wise person once told me that the way to make progress in some ways is to think of a bowling analogy. You don’t try to knock 10 pins down […]
