Akil and Hong welcome Dan Le Guen-Schmidt to the show to discuss his approach to Human Resources and what he believes makes for successful departments and teams. From there, the trio discuss Dan's path from the twin-cities area to Santa Barbara (with stops in Boston and the Bay Area along the way), discuss favorite styles of hotdish, and how working and touring as a musician earlier in his life set him up on the career path he's on today (and also taught him about how wonderful the McDonald's restaurants in Japan are).
