How to Win a Campaign

7 Questions with Kristen Grimm


Listen Later

In this special 7 Questions episode, Joe sits down with Kristen Grimm, Founder and Strategist at Spitfire Strategies, for a candid conversation about what it takes to win a campaign right now. Kristen unpacks common strategic-planning mistakes: vague milestones, the "build the plane while we're flying it" approach, and the obsession with one giant "big tent" coalition. She and Joe also dig into why so many strategic plans sit on a shelf, what AI is changing about the speed of campaigns, and why the most important question in your planning meeting may be what you're for, not just what you're against.
