In today's episode, we celebrate our sixth year in business together. We reflect on our journey, the challenges we've faced, and the lessons we've learned.

Whether you own a business, are a leader, or are looking to accelerate your career, you will get something from this episode.

We discuss the importance of blind faith, adaptability, having a plan while preparing to pivot, hiring, the power of transparent communication, and the importance of vulnerability in leadership.

Georgie also shares the dangers of getting caught up in shiny projects and the value of following your strengths rather than just your passion.

But most importantly, we discuss enjoying the journey, celebrating small wins, and choosing joy and gratitude every single day.
