Humble Confidence with veteran and entrepreneur Blake Hall
Humility stems from confidence. Confident leaders can admit when they're not the smartest person in the room.
Blake Hall exemplifies the type of leadership we need more of in business. A former Army Ranger, Blake was awarded the Bronze Star for leading his platoon in combat during the Iraq War. Now he's the CEO and co-founder of ID.me, a digital wallet that simplifies online identity verification.
I sat down with Blake to discuss how his combat experience informed his journey as an entrepreneur and why the smartest leaders lead with humility.
This...is A Bit of Optimism.
