Episode notes

- Pretend you're broke each day to force creativity and cost-effective solutions. Time and consistent effort teach lessons investors can't buy, so don't skip the grind.

- Use social media as an accelerator, not a replacement for real relationships; still meet partners and build trust in person. Be patient: human loyalty and adoption take time, even in a digital era.

- Culture and purpose create lasting customer loyalty that price and ads cannot buy. Inclusive purpose makes customers and reps feel they belong, insulating brands from competition.
