Ampush Media, Inc.

is incredibly valuable and high leverage.

And I was talking, and Ampush is a great example of this.

And you witnessed it as, man, it gets really cool when you don't have to give the feedback anymore because people one or two levels down from you are giving the feedback.

And then the culture just, people just show up in a certain way.

My background is in growth marketing, mostly.

I worked at a firm company agency called Ampush.

Kind of that's where I started my career.

And Agency was really good at Facebook.

So I wanted to do the complete opposite and go to the earliest possible company I could go to and When I was in college, I DJed and produced a lot of music, and that was sort of like my side hustle.

So it was an early exposure to 1099, self-employed work, how those taxes work.

And between Ampush and Collective, I was self-employed.

I was doing some growth consulting on the side.

that a lot of leaders think that they need to appear invulnerable i think there's a temptation to be like i have it all together and i have it all figured out i'm not human i'm superhuman and i think that that can be part of what undermines that feeling of caring and connection totally

so let's tee up next week's episode which is i think we should go deep on on challenging directly and specifically What I've found, and I've gotten better at this, again, I wasn't bad at it, but I think with the work we've done together, the biggest thing we've used to teach internally at Ampush and other companies was actually the hardest part is getting the words out of your mouth.

And we've done stuff like their sentence stems, which I think we can cover next week.

There's the nature of how you frame feedback, which is not something like this concept of, I would say feedback can't be given as a gift.
