Ep.72 - "Making an Impact in the Short-Term" with Maggie Garden

We place a lot of stock in strong beginnings: the first 100 days of a presidency, the first 10 minutes of a film, the first impression we form when meeting a new person. A strong beginning sets expectations, and solidifies our faith in someone’s competence and capabilities.
