So I have had a great rewarding background and I share all of that because that's really what brought me to where I'm at today. 8 years ago, I had a life-changing event. I had a car accident that was a very humbling experience and it forced me to do a lot of thinking about how I wanted to, what legacy I wanted to leave behind and— who I wanted to co-author the rest of my professional career with. And it wasn't in corporate America. So I started Growthwise Consulting. And at first, I was all in consulting as an interim chief revenue officer, vice president of sales for a couple of companies. And then a couple years ago, I pivoted my strategy and decided I no longer wanted to be full-time and just work with one client.
