In today's Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I sat down with Jamon Schmidt, the new director of marketing communications for Goodwill Industries Of Kanawha Valley. We discussed effective marketing strategies, emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence in communication. Jamon highlighted the need to understand and adapt to different individuals' preferences. We also explored fostering a positive business culture, where treating people as individuals is key. Setting and achieving long-term goals, according to Jamon, requires clarity and self-awareness. His evolving leadership philosophy now prioritizes empathy and understanding. Lastly, we touched on building strong professional relationships, with Jamon advocating for the timeless golden rule: treat others as you want to be treated. Overall, our conversation reinforced the idea that success in business hinges on understanding and connecting with people on a human level.
