What makes a great leader? And how can businesses stay safe as AI changes the way we work?

In this episode of the Mile High Success Podcast, host Nick Elder sits down with Craig Patterson, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Marketing at Exabeam.

Craig shares how he went from planning to become a lawyer to building a successful career in technology sales and leadership. With more than 20 years of experience, he has learned that great results start with great people.

Nick and Craig talk about what it takes to build a strong team culture. Craig explains why clear goals, trust, accountability, and celebrating small wins can make a big difference. He also shares why good leaders must be ready to learn and change as their businesses grow.

The conversation then turns to one of today's biggest business challenges: artificial intelligence.

Craig explains how AI can help companies work faster, but also create new risks. He shares an amazing story about how his company discovered that a new employee had used AI to fake their identity during the hiring process.

They also discuss how businesses can protect private data, keep people in control of AI tools, and spot warning signs before serious problems happen.

Craig closes with advice for anyone looking to grow as a leader. He explains why building your personal brand, finding great mentors, and learning from others can help shape your future.
