In a recent edition of Conversations with the Council, the Economic Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. did a feature story about Nelson Mullins partner Cliff Hertz, where he talked about his career, how to build and maintain credibility, and what makes an effective leader. He also discussed development projects in South Florida, and how they have been impacted due to new policies that were set by the state legislature.
