The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni

Everyone has two Working Geniuses, which means there are 15 different potential pairings.  This week, the team reveals three of the labels that we've come up with for some of those pairings, starting with DE, DG, and ID.  

This week on the podcast, we debrief some Working Genius results live!  Our friends Tom and Rosylyn, who own a local business, sit down with Pat and Cody to discuss how their Geniuses show up in both their marriage and their work.   To check out their store, visit VentureGoods.com
