Ep.237: Leadership in a Micro Company and Challenging Conventional Wisdom on Business Growth, wit...

Today we're testing a few of the assumptions of entrepreneurship and leadership, from "fail fast" to "leaders have all the answers" and more, we might even be debunking and refuting some of these ideas, and discussing why they're actually a little bit toxic. I'm joined by guest, Joel Miller, co-founder (with his twin brother) of The Sky Floor, LLC. A marketing agency of two, which has a slightly contrarian view, a non-traditional take if you like, on business growth and how micro-companies can run. Joel shares his unconventional views on leadership and business, we chat about the importance of lifelong learning, the value of small business operations, the need to challenge common business clichés and how staying small can be a competitive advantage.
