What does it mean to bet on yourself? Host Dr. Shanda Gore talks with musician and independent artist Mr. Thaddaeus Washington, who shares the defining moments that shaped his journey and the risks he took when success wasn’t guaranteed. He reflects on building meaningful work, and how lessons from jazz—like listening, adaptability, and trust—translate directly to leadership in music, business, and life.
