Podcast Episode 75: Crash & Learn with Jamal Miller

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking to Jamal Miller, who turned an unlikely start into one of the most powerful business trajectories I’ve ever seen.

Jamal has such a calm composure and amazing business sense to go along with a true sense of his business’s purpose. What a powerful combination!

Listen in on Episode 075 and you’ll learn

  • Popularity does not equal profit – learn to leverage!
  • Jamal focused on money and it made him lose his sense of direction
  • How he realized that once he focused on making impact, the money naturally followed
  • Using your skills and gifts for communication can thrust your business forward
  • Speaking the language of your customer is one of the biggest investments you can make
  • How a deep dive survey was able to help Jamal mine out the information that he needed to relate to his customers at all stages of their struggles
