If you've ever felt like your ideas aren't getting the traction they deserve, or you've struggled to build a team that truly gets your vision, this episode is about to change everything for you. I'm sitting down with my dear friend Jennifer Kem, a powerhouse entrepreneur, branding expert, and author of the new book "Unicorn Team."

Jen reveals her game-changing framework for building lean, powerful teams that can move your ideas forward quickly without corporate red tape. Discover why most small businesses fail when trying to use corporate systems like EOS, how to identify your unique leadership type, and the three types of leaders every successful team needs.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • [3:12] Jennifer's journey from corporate executive to entrepreneur
  • [5:23] Why EOS and other corporate systems don't work for creative businesses
  • [8:54] The Unicorn Innovation Model explained
  • [13:42] The three leadership types: Visionizers, Strategizers, and Mobilizers
  • [18:30] How to identify your unique leadership type
  • [23:15] The shadow side of each leadership type
  • [27:10] Why the "visionary vs. integrator" model is broken
  • [31:15] Creating flexible team structures that support innovation
