Jason shares lessons learned from building a business, getting burned, and rebuilding again with more purpose and integrity. Now running a successful marketing and coaching firm, Jason talks about finding the right clients, navigating the fast-changing world of digital marketing, and staying grounded while leveraging new AI tools.
