Cory discusses the changing landscape of business and the importance of staying up-to-date with new technologies and skills. He emphasizes that while certain professions require specialized knowledge, sales and marketing can be self-taught. He shares his own journey and experiences working for various corporations, including Volkswagen during the dieselgate crisis. He mentions that he has learned a lot about crisis management and even taught courses on public relations in a social media world. Cory then outlines the three key aspects that shape his philosophy: past successes and failures, being a student of business every day, and sharing what is currently working. He explains that he wants to provide valuable insights and information to help entrepreneurs navigate the challenges and opportunities of running a business.The Five Pillars of Business Growth
One of the concepts we’ll be discussing in our podcast is the “five pillars of business growth,” which Cory has developed over his 20 years of consulting and coaching experience. These pillars include mindset, sales, marketing, operations, and people. Identifying and addressing challenges within these pillars is crucial for achieving growth. Following these five pillars and applying the framework of identifying, isolating, and attacking problems can lead to success and business growth. Cory and Kerry acknowledge that it can be challenging to take your own advice and emphasize the importance of seeking guidance and coaching from others. The Grow!
