And the first one is, what is something that most people get completely wrong about building an agency that you've learned through these nine years building to 10 million plus and then in your time since then helping a multitude of different firms?

Sarah StillGUEST
I don't know if it's something that they get wrong as in they have a choice or they see the choice and they say, well, I'm doing it this way instead of this way.

Sarah StillGUEST
And the core thing I'm talking about, and that's everything really, but the core thing that I see missing is, in agencies is operationalized leadership.
