What's Next Connections: Part 1
Stonington, CT A few days ago I was on the phone with one of our previous guests, Kevin Tarca. He had reached out to Neil on the same day to talk about some of his current ideas and experiences now that he’s returned back to the U.S. after spending a year with the European Basketball League. I gave him a call and we got to talking about some new ideas for our own careers and the future of What’s Next (stay tuned, it’s all super exciting). After a few minutes, Kevin said, “dud
