It’s the holiday season, and ordinarily at this time of the year we would suggest some good books for you to read as you hopefully get some time off to relax. Not this year. This year was different. If you’re like most professionals, you worked harder than ever this year. On top of that, finding time to exercise, sleep, interact with family and friends, seemed more challenging. Many professionals are flat-out tired. They need some downtime. So, instead of recommending books to read over the holiday, we suggest you kick back and take time to binge-watch some good television. We spoke to students, faculty, and staff at the William & Mary School of Business and asked them to share some suggestions for holiday binge watching. We have 10 recommendations for you, plus a bonus recommendation. 

There are countless parallels between business and sports; teamwork, sacrifice, expertise, winning and losing, innovation, leadership, and commitment. Our guest today is the President and Owner of PGC Basketball, the largest education basketball camp in the world. PGC has camps across the United States and Canada dedicated to teaching young people how to succeed on and off the court. While the PGC camps are spread out geographically, so is its staff. It’s fully remote, and has been for years. Yet, the organization’s president, Mano Watsa, has built a highly successful team by creating a commitment-based organization. He joins us today to talk about the commitment-based organization, the people it attracts and retains, and why it leads to success.
