We connected with Carter as we share a common passion for developing talent and wanted to learn more about the ideas and advice he developed in his book The Right (and Wrong) Stuff.  We talk about Carter's own career journey, how and why talented people experience career derailment, the importance of feedback and how students are supported in their journey toward a fulfilling career.
