Growing as a Leader with Marie Chevrier Schwartz
“I remember the question “why isn’t it being done differently” being “why hasn’t someone else come up with that solution” which I guess was kind of challenging myself to think about “well somebody would have obviously fixed this if it was that big of a problem” which is often where I think most ideas end.”.
In this episode Growing as a Leader, Marie Chevrier Schwartz sits down with host Edwin Frondozo to discuss product sampling and her journey of building sampler.
