Paula Glover (CEO of American Association of Blacks in Energy) is back for another awesome conversation with her friend of over 25 years, Frank Reynolds, President of UIL Holdings which oversees multiple nation and state wide power infrastructure.

They chat Frank's time in the US National Guard, the many twists and turns his career took, how to balance patience with aggression, and again touch on the value of mentorship (common Always Bet On Black theme). If you laugh half as many times as they did, it was a successful episode!
