When it comes to business growth, there’s no real hack, unless you’re talking about the ability to stay calm, cool, and collected in the midst of crisis. I know… that doesn’t feel like a hack, does it? I thought so too before I read Real-Time Leadership: Find Your Winning Moves When the Stakes Are High, […]

March 26, 2023 By Kathryn Aragon

Then, last week, the thank-you letter arrived… Thanking my husband.  While we both graduated from […]

Culture Is the Way: Book Review

February 27, 2023 By Kathryn Aragon

City lights

We’re often inspired by the culture of fast-growing companies. But the things we tend to notice — like casual Fridays, a 4-day work week, or Ping-Pong tables in the breakroom — aren’t actually culture. They’re perks.

Too often, entrepreneurship is an exercise in failure.  Even with a winning idea, the odds are against you. There’s a 20% chance you’ll fail in Year 1. That increases to 50% by Year 5. And only 30% will survive beyond 10 years. With odds like that, should you even try? By all means, yes! Because […]

After nearly 20 years in marketing, you tend to believe you already know everything there is to know about scarcity.
