Episode 95: Don't Overshoot Your Joy (with Greg Peccie) - a podcast by Natural Encounters, Inc.

While Ari braves the wilds of Texas, Chris is joined by Greg Peccie, Curator of Mammals at the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens! Greg shares how his animal career started (as it does for so many of us) with a moment of awe at Sea World, how his leadership skills grew during a long stretch at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge (where he became the life-long mentor to Chris' wife, Bethany) and his excitement to work with the team at his new job. Greg talks about the importance of clear expectations and accountabiliy, the dangers of "overshooting your joy," his goal of never becoming 'the creepy curator,' and helping people to become the leaders they wish they'd had. Didn't want this one to end - we'll have Greg back soon for sure!
