Salt Lake 2002 Retrospective

Eric Roy, perhaps the most enthusiastic finance person I've ever met, joins the Salt Lake 2002 Retrospective podcast. Eric finds SLOC through Accountemps, works under Lane Critchfield and Brett Hopkins in Finance, Chris Crowley at Park City, and is cheered on by hundreds of elementary school kids (recorded 19 January 2021).
