It’s a really good interview, which turns into a mini career-retrospective. So proud of him! A week ago or so we did an O’Malley Family Zoom and there are so many people in our family the Zoom screen looked like we were an entire company gathering together for a once-a-year board meeting. It was chaos. Plus I love Mike’s shoutout at the end of the interview to everyone in the press, doing their jobs to report the stories out there, and in many cases getting attacked – literally – for doing so.
