from Rogue Startups · host RogueStartups

Hello, remember me?  Sorry that it's been 6 weeks, but I'm back. In this episode I talk through what I've been up to recently, what's going on with Castos, with myself personally, and things I'm learning growing the business.  Towards the end, I share the lessons I learned from a recent 2-day Scaling Workshop with Alex and Leila Hormozi.  The event was great, and really reframed how I am thinking about the business, and about being a business owner.   My YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@thecraighewitt - for sales, marketing, and founder-focused content like this.
