Driving Force Podcast
Episode 1: My Dad, Michael Rosa
Welcome to the first episode of the Driving Force Podcast! In this episode I'll be interviewing my Dad, Michael Rosa. My Dad's the former President & CEO of Pacer Electronics, a wire and cable distribution company he sold to Anixter International in 1998 (Anixter is now nearly a $3.5B market cap company). He's also probably the most competitive person I know. My Dad's finished 2nd in Kumite in the Karate World Championships, finished 5 Boston Marathons, 1 Ironman, and is currently preparing for the World Yoga Championships after finishing 2nd in the national championships last year.
