Mita, it's great to have you on the show today. Thanks so much for taking the time.
Thanks for having me on. I'm excited for our conversation.

Yes. Amazing. I was celebrating with mom. We've been celebrating all week. Yeah. Wonderful. Yes. Wonderful.
Wonderful. Well, we are here to talk about your book in particular, because I think The topic is so incredibly timely. It's something that a lot of people deal with. And, you know, essentially there's a premise in there that I think is very intriguing to me, which is bad bosses are made. So I'm very interested in the idea of how are they made?
