Talking Too Loud with Chris Savage

Neil Patel, Co-Founder of Neil Patel Digital, will be the first to admit no single person is great at every single thing they do. But one of the keys to his decades-long career in entrepreneurship is continually pushing forward and learning from his mistakes. On the latest episode of Talking Too Loud, learn why Neil thinks it’s important for CEOs to work their way out of a job, and where they should focus their energy when more time has been given back to them.

ALSO...

Neil Patel is talking too loud about the economy. On the one hand, things are bad for business: multiples are down, people aren't funding, interest rates are too high. But funnily enough, this is also probably one of the best times to buy a business!

Chris Savage is talking too loud about his 40th birthday extravaganza: a weekend of competitions (of course) where friends and family got together for bake-offs, Survivor-style obstacle courses, and Savage-themed trivia.

And Sylvie is talking too loud about weddings, specifically how to strategically position yourself during the appetizer hour so you can get first dibs on the passed hors d'oeuvres, which, let’s face it, is the star of any wedding.
