PureReinvention Podcast

Last podcast for the year! We wanted to end 2016 talking about one of the most important aspects of professional and personal development - connecting. The PureReinvention project was born by the founders connecting and collaborating on shared interests. The fundamentals and concepts were derived from countless meetings of disrupters who needed a safe space to collaborate, dream and scheme. With this in mind, we have developed CEO forums and other connection opportunities for executives and aspiring executives to connect and collaborate. Listen to Mike talk to Julie Novak, CEO of the Michigan State Medical Society as she discusses her experience with one of these forums and how she uses the podcasts to help with professional development.

Editors note: We are taking a couple weeks off to retool and prepare for 2017. See you again on January 9, 2017!
