Episode 3 - Location, Location, Location (Part 1)

In this episode, we talk to Kevin Johnson, CEO of Mediacom who talks about how he hid the fact that he was from a low-income community as a protective strategy in the early days of his career in the advertising industry. It's been said that when a person is 'closeting' an aspect of themselves, there is always a portion of their mental energy dedicated to protecting that secret. This can have implications on their performance and thus their career in the long-term. Listen to Kevin's story as he candidly shares inflection points that helped along his journey to the C-suite.
