In the interview with Kivo Daily, Mr. Farrow explained how his industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
'Academics and business consulting have been impacted somewhat as classrooms and workplaces have been closed down, but things have gotten better.

'Being an active listener and practicing emotional intelligence are the keys to relationships with those who work for you and with you. I like to think I lead by example. That doesn't mean perfection, but it does mean owning your mistakes,' said Andrew Farrow.
Farrow also shared some advice that he has never forgotten: don't sweat the small stuff. He said that mistakes happen and that the best thing to do is to double-check your work and understand that mistakes are inevitable.
