Michael and I talk about the risks and decisions around starting a company, the challenges of making the transition between one thing and the next, his learning growth as a leader, and his desire to listen more and understand more. 

We also explore the topics of building and sustaining a growing company’s physically dispersed culture, the challenges of working from home while needing the social interaction and closeness of in-person people, and navigating a new non-office-focused world. 

Michael G. Paul II is a father of three, a husband, a builder, and the CEO of Cobec Consulting, Inc. Find him working outside on his 5-acre property in Virginia and occasionally online on LinkedIn.
