Drawing from my own experiences transitioning from traditional print advertising to digital marketing in my restoration business, I offer real-world insights into the power of technology and adaptation. Listen as we dissect cautionary tales like Blockbuster's missed chance to acquire Netflix, showing that innovation isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity for survival.
Imagine the transformative potential of integrating even the simplest technological tools, like Google Forms for managing time-off requests, into your business operations.
