  • Forget EVERYTHING You Know About Strategy!
    Send us a textJazmen Jackson has entered the building...and she wants to rewire the way we think about the term "Strategic Planning". Actually, she wants us to stop using the term.

At minimum, you'll give your strategy a review. Tune in and let me know what you found valuable. My number one takeaway is that strategy isn't set it and forget it.
