We had a pretty fascinating interview last Saturday on the DFW show with David Welch, the Bureau Chief of Bloomberg/Businessweek in Detroit who has a book that was just released called:  *Charging Ahead*.

The book is about General Motors CEO Mary Barra and her quest to turn GM into an all-electric car company.  David is an expert on this topic and I asked him pointed questions about Barra’s sudden rise from an engineer to CEO.  We also discussed electric vehicles in general, and a lot more.  The book is available now on [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Charging-Ahead-Barra-Reinvention-American/dp/1400233593/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2976UWUQTL0LF&keywords=david+welch+amazon+gm&qid=1663693452&sprefix=david+welch+amazon+gm%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-1) and wherever else you buy books.

I think you’ll find this 12-minute interview interesting and compelling:
