When you go to an event, are you actually implementing the things that you learn about in your own business? I mean let’s face it...It's one thing to go to an event. But it's another thing to actually implement what you learned at said event. There are facts behind the idea that you learn best when you have to repeat it and teach it to others. So allow me to put this idea to the test. I recently went to the Badass Business Summit by Donnie Boivin, and I want to share my experience of this incredible event with you.

Strategy in Small Doses IS GOING ON A HIATUS. We are going to pause things for a little while because we are in a state of transition, growth, and evolution. I always encourage you to be transparent. So I wanted to let everybody know that I'm going through the trenches with you. That means that it's time for me to take a look at what's working, and what's not working.

I want to say thank you to every single one of you that has supported and listened. I know there are a few of you out there that have listened to every single episode. I appreciate that more than you know. Truly, it means the absolute world to me to have that level of support.

I also want you to realize I'm not going anywhere. We have some really exciting things coming for the podcast. It's going through a rebrand and is going to have a new name and a slightly different focus based on some things that I'm seeing are needed in the industry. I want to make sure that if I'm putting this content out there that it is truly serving you in the best way possible. Don't worry! I'll be back!
