Today we're joined by my friend, Harold Hughes, Founder and CEO of Bandwagon, a South Carolina-based live experience technology company. As a web3 builder and community leader, Harold published “A Kid’s Book About Blockchain.” to help educate people "from 6 to 60" about the revolutionary technology that Bandwagon specializes in. Additionally, he is an active angel investor, primarily investing in women, people of color, and Black founder-led companies.
We cover a range of topics in our conversation from public speaking and communication skills, the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence, managing emotions as a CEO, self-care, and work life prioritization.
