Bringing Home the Bacon (Strategy) w/ Melanie Deziel & Truly Social’s Tara Hunt

Succeeding at something isn’t just about having a good idea. That’s part of it, but there’s so much more. This week, we are talking about strategy – and breakfast – but mostly strategy. How do you take the idea you have in your brain and turn it into a successful endeavor in the real world?

And when we say “business” we mean any kind of endeavor – a service business of some kind, a product, a restaurant – it could be a podcast!

Joining us at the table this week are speaker & consultant Melanie Deziel, and the founder of Truly Social, Tara Hunt.
