In this podcast episode, Brian and Kim welcome guest Caroline Legrande to discuss the concept of adopting an annual theme for business. They explore how a theme can shape marketing strategies and internal culture, reflecting on their own "slingshot" theme's positive influence on their goals and team dynamics. The episode also touches on the creative and fun aspects of integrating the theme into marketing, exemplified by their use of rubber chicken finger flickers. The conversation underscores the value of a unifying theme in directing a team's focus and energizing the work environment.
