How to Pivot Your Business Without Burning the Entire Thing Down with Morgan Markowski
Point Of The Story
Intro
Sarah opens the show, introduces the podcast and guest Morgan Markowski, and asks playful icebreaker questions.
I went to the bank the other day and saw a sign that said "jeans day," where employees pay $5 to wear denim for their eight-hour shift. My first thought was, Thank God I get to decide what I wear and what I do every single day.
But just because we chose entrepreneurship doesn't mean everything is peaches and cream. Sometimes, we can feel disconnected from our business, so disconnected that we might be tempted to torch everything and start over.
In this episode, I sit down with Morgan Markowski (January Capricorn, eldest daughter, nostalgic photo hoarder, and Metallica fan) to talk about the soft pivot — aka how to evolve your business without burning it to the ground.
