IN THIS EPISODE:

We sit down for a long-anticipated chat with one of our favorite people and vocalists, Mr. John Dokes. In true Clark Kent fashion, John is a high-powered business executive by day (after a stint as a marketing exec and comic book creator at Marvel comics, he's now Chief Marketing Officer of Accuweather) and a jazz singer and swing dancer by night. 

How does John make it all work? Well, he's got a couple of superpowers. Tune in to hear how listening and being present are indispensable skills in the boardroom and on the bandstand.

Businessman by day, charismatic singer and dancer by night. John Dokes is a superhero!

JOHN DOKES & DAWN HAMPTON: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Musical simpatico doesn't get deeper or more joyful than what John and Dawn embodied when they danced to Count Basie's "Splanky."
