🎙️ Is your marketing team set up for success, or are you unknowingly setting them up to fail?

In this episode, Whitney takes a hard look at the challenges business owners face when hiring and managing young marketing talent. She reveals why simply hiring fresh faces isn’t enough—and what it takes to transform raw potential into real results.

  • Why marketing is more complex than it seems—and how to set realistic expectations for young hires.
