In honor of Customer Experience Day (10/3), I'm thrilled to be joined by my good friend, and fellow CX expert, Jay Baer. Jay is a Hall of Fame speaker, New York Times best-selling author of 7 business books, founder of 5 multi-million dollar companies, and a trusted business growth advisor to 40 of the FORTUNE 500 brands.

In today's episode, Jay and I chat about his new book, "The Time to Win," and why speed and responsiveness are crucial for succeeding in today's experience economy. Jay explains why EVERY business needs a 'fast pass,' how to close the uncertainty gap with your customers, and the complex correlation between speed and trust.
