Focus: They became interested in employee-owned companies (EOCs)

Networking: To better understand EOCs, they called an accountant friend who ended up introducing them to the company that hired them

Networking: They strongly encourage TT members to invite others into your journey – don’t go it alone!

Coach: They worked with a coach to help them refine their value prop and prep for board interviews (investment: around $5k)

Backdoor: Initially they were interviewing for a board position and it was through those conversations that the CMO role became an option

Time: It took them about 9 months to secure their new position

Learn: They also advise taking advantage of the time off to learn something you always wanted to learn more about (they got certified in an area that interested them)
