 What if the difference between business success and wandering aimlessly in the wilderness comes down to one simple truth: you need a compass before you can even think about drawing a map? In this episode, we explore our founder Jim's powerful insights about strategic navigation—and how understanding this fundamental principle became the game-changer for helping mission-driven organizations move from scattered efforts to confident leadership. From that thrilling moment of standing at the edge of an unexplored business forest to helping nonprofit leaders guide their audiences with sherpa-like confidence, we unpack why having clear direction isn't just good planning—it's the foundation that makes everything else possible.
