Reflection: We Chased Growth, and Lost Ourselves Doing It
Manage episode 516997179 series 3661133
We made a bold marketing move to accelerate growth. It backfired.
In this episode, Benj and McKenzie break down a failed startup marketing strategy and what it exposed about leadership, values, and growth misalignment. It's a real-world case study in what happens when your strategy outpaces your identity.
If you're a founder, COO, or scaling a business, you'll learn how to recover from a misstep, realign with your core values, and build a more resilient growth plan.
