 today was a super busy day absolutely grinding things out and making things happen nailing down this new on boarding process while trying to also juggle current client load and website builds has me looking like I've got four arms.

I expect this is going to get harder and harder as time goes on, but it's another great growing opportunity for Catalyst RVA marketing agency and me personally as well... so today I'm digging into some thoughts about hiring and what I'm looking for and why.

Spurred by a random phone call I went into a spiral of self-reflection. I genuinely appreciate my friends because oftentimes their calls or messages to bounce ideas off me turn into some massive self-reflection.

In this episode, ill share how valuable the power of authenticity is today in the epidemic of trust we are in. ESPECIALLY if you are running a business like a marketing agency where you're generally looked on with a healthy dose of skepticism - rightfully so...
