This episode with Dave Adkisson has been over a year in the making. Dave recently retired as the President & CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. When I learned that he would be retiring soon, I reached out to him right away to schedule him as a guest on the podcast. That is when he told me that he was working on this book and we decided to wait until his book was ready to have him on the podcast. I am so glad that we waited!
Horseshoes vs. Chess is the best description that I have seen or heard about what a Chamber of Commerce is or should be. The book gives great examples from Dave’s career working at Chambers of various sizes and he shares many lessons that he has established throughout his Chamber career.
We had a great conversation in this episode as Dave shares a little bit behind the curtain about the making of this great resource for Chamber Champions.
