Not Your Mama's CEO Interview
Show Notes


         In this NYMA episode, we speak to the President, CEO and Chairman of the Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, David Long, about his life as a CEO, a Dad and a husband. He and I had a very candid discussion about raising an autistic son in an age before modern day autism awareness and autism acceptance campaigns. He frankly discusses the isolation his family underwent in the early years of the diagnosis and how he channels those tough chapters of his life into pouring into community outreach efforts.  We also talk about the way society has viewed brain differences through both his family's and my family's generational contexts.

       To have a full appreciation of this conversation, please also check out the immediate previous episode, Season 3, Episode 2, where I interview Melissa MacDonnell, President of the Liberty Mutual Foundation, one of the leaders responsible for an all abilities playground built in Plano, Texas.
