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.

Sessions is hosted by Benj Miller and McKenzie Decker

The best businesses aren’t just built on strategy, they’re built on soul.
