We’re Tom and Corissa from Crown & Reach, and we'd love to see you over at Tentacles: https://shows.acast.com/tentacles
With over 100 episodes, our podcast is the best bad podcast out there. By which we mean: raw, unfiltered, unedited conversations. We talk about strategy, sense-making, and the blurry edges between work and all the other stuff. Because sometimes feeling your way through the fog – with limbs outstretched – is the only way to move forward.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
