“Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not.”

Robert Kennedy

Much like artists, leaders are visionary. They see things that no one else sees and break the mold of what is considered normal. Not bound by the shackles of conformity, leaders are original in their thinking and in what they produce, whether it is art, technology, athletics, etc.

Silicon Valley is unique for many reasons, and arguably the most compelling reason is that it is full of original and innovative leaders. Russ Ewell sits down with Tom Schaffernoth, the CEO of Nearchus Inc, and Greg Bodzioch, the co-founder of E-Sports, to discuss the necessity to have a passion for leadership.
