The Real Opportunity Of The Next Decade For Businesses

I've worked on a lot of things over the years. Made investments, sat on boards, and ran companies. The one commonality in the success of all of these is how well the team members get along. Today's video is a recent Keynote that I gave for GoPuff employees in Philly! I share my two cents on the importance of being close to the customer emphasizing that whoever is the closest to the customer wins. I also share some business and marketing strategies to win in 2024. Hope you enjoy this one!
