The Grow or Go podcast talks about Surfing the Sigmoid Curve. Or in other words: how everything, and everyone will experience inception, growth, maturity, and finally decline. But how do businesses, products, or people continue to grow both personally and professionally?
Hosted by Chris Jones, CEO, and co-owner of the largest business brokerage firm in the US, and Matt Silasiri, VP of Business Development.
Chris and Matt interview founders, business owners, professionals, and growth-minded individuals who have found success. And they share how they made it happen.
