Sharing the Mic

In this episode of 5 Minutes With Andy, Virtual, Inc. CEO Andy Freed explains why the best leaders don’t just talk — they make space for others to join the conversation. Drawing on a theme from his upcoming book, Lead Like The Boss, Andy shows how sharing the mic turns passive listening into active participation — whether it’s a one-on-one, a board meeting, or a conference.

Andy covers:

When to stop talking — and start listening.
Agenda shifts that change the dynamic — and the outcome.
How to spark engagement in the first minute — and keep it going.
