Build an "Innovation Hub," not just a workspace.(3) Human Impact to Code: Technology is built by people, for people. If you lose the human element, you lose your competitive edge.Listen To The Full Podcast Episode Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vr-_ybTrFI#FutureOfWork #EntrepreneurMindset #LeadershipTips #TechInnovation #GoldenNuggets #JohnRathje #2030Vision #BusinessGrowth #StartupAdvice
