He joined Williams during Covid, in this episode he shares the difficulties that came with joining then and how he cultivates a family feel in a large company, where many employees work remotely.

In this episode they explore the cost of living a life that is relentlessly driven to find victory, what you have to lose to achieve great things.  The objective is always to win, for Jost and his team there is no consideration of the alternative.
