In this episode, Julie and Jimmy are joined by Troy Sandidge, the strategy hacker and host of the IDigress podcast, part of the HubSpot Podcast Network. Troy shares his insights on connecting with others and being your authentic self. He also discusses the concept of a shadow mentor and how it can help you grow to your full potential. Troy's branding journey is also explored, showcasing how he transformed from a social media marketer to the Strategy Hacker® generating over $175 Million in client revenue and launching 35+ brands in various industries worldwide.
