Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

At some point you hit a ceiling. You've hustled, bootstrapped, been scrappy, built something real, but then you realize you can't market your way to the next level with just your time and duct tape anymore. So the question is, when you're finally ready to invest real dollars into marketing, where the heck should that money go? Today, Entre Leadership's John Falkins and Ramsey's chief marketing officer, our CMO, Jen Siewardson, will walk you through how smart business owners make intentional and effective marketing investments, from hiring the right person to knowing if you're actually getting your money's worth.

And while it may not be your expertise, you are very capable as the business owner to fully understand everything that's being proposed and how it's going to be tracked in over time, right?
