The Whole Enchilada Podcast
Welcome to a gathering place created for leaders by leaders. You will find here conversations about starting and guiding organizations, whether for-profit or nonprofit. Our name, The Whole Enchilada, refers to a leadership spirit. These are the brave, buoyant souls who go all in, dreaming of better ways to solve problems.
In each episode, host Mitch Santala, CEO of a startup supporting the financial services industry, and his guests target two objectives: offering encouragement and providing insights to those on the sometimes foggy, often risky, and always rewarding path called leadership.
