Derek Schultz Q&A with Alex Golden on Setting The Pace's Rise to Fruition Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

A few weeks ago, Derek Schultz reached out to Alex Golden to see if he would mind doing a Q&A for IBJ.com to share the origin story of Setting The Pace, how the show grew from nothing to notoriety and how Alex has become a full time media member. Derek sent the audio file over to Alex to share on this feed for listeners of Setting The Pace to hear the interview, in case they didn't read the article in the IBJ or on IBJ.com. The audio version of this Q&A is longer than the written piece, and has the unedited answers to the questions. We hope you enjoy the episode, and as always, we thank you for your support of this podcast!
