Bob and Alex work through a list of suggested leadership tips for young entrepreneurs. There is no surprise that hard work is at the top of the list, but it is the second one that is grist for the mill.
Alex contends that it is difficult for folks to remain humble while trumpeting their successes. There are some young entrepreneurs that serve as their own PR people as well. It is important to maintain the proper tone.
Bob reminds us that it is important to know your own shortcomings. While the discussion of the importance of knowing your strengths is more prevalent, knowing the traits that are at the bottom of your stack is just as important.

Finally, the discussion comes to what has been a key tent for the show: Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
