So we've gone from 140 people down to around 40. Revenue has dropped hard. And for the first time in 16 years, staying in business actually feels uncertain.
So this episode is about what we're doing now. What's working, what's not, and how we're getting things back on track.
I talk about why we're focusing on just 30 great deals instead of hundreds, what AI is actually good for… and where it's total BS. And how I'm thinking about rebuilding the team in a way that actually works long term.
Also sharing a mindset nugget I just heard and loved from an incredibly talented cyclist:
'when it's hard, that's when you're strong'.
Turns out that applies to parenting… and business.
