In our inaugural episode, we talk with our partners Steve Lehmann and Ed Denyer about their personal journeys toward discovering their passions and building their businesses. Their paths were very different, shaped by distinct motivations and experiences, but both found success through a deep focus on client needs and a keen sense of what made their work stand out. We also explore how their commitment to lifelong learning and the power of intentional networking opened doors and shaped their direction. Their stories are a reminder that there is more than one way to get an education, and more than one way to build something meaningful.
