Square One: Conversations with the Best in Business - A podcast by Romeen Sheth

Over the past 3 years, it's been a great honor of mine to develop a friendship with Andrew Yang. I remember walking down a street in New York City a few years ago with Andrew talking about all the challenges we faced as a society - he looked at me with determination and said: if we want to solve the problem, we need to be a part of the solution. Since deciding to run for President, Andrew raised the level of discourse in our country and forced us as a citizenry to challenge many of our most basic assumptions. He has elevated a vision for a more humane capitalism and stressed the importance of country allegiance over party allegiance. Andrew had a sentiment he often used to express on the campaign trail - his vision and policies were not about moving the country left or right; rather, they were about moving the country forward. Andrew joined me and 30 of Atlanta's most senior leaders for an intimate fireside chat to provide a perspective on how we move forward as a society. Since then he has announced his candidacy for Mayor of NYC and I'm thrilled to be an early and avid supporter. Enjoy the fireside chat.
