Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most founders spend their days focused on what needs to happen next: the next client, the next launch, the next hire. But what if the most important question isn't what's next, but where are you actually going?
In this powerful conversation, Jen is joined by entrepreneur and global angel investor Erika Aquino to explore what it really takes to build a business with long-term vision.
