Meet Mandy Thompson, co-founder and CEO of Digital Reach Online Solutions, a full-service digital agency offering holistic solutions that focus on integrations and automations.

In this episode, the emphasis is on marketing leadership. You'll hear Mandy and Ashley's fun conversation as they discuss everything from overwhelm, panic, and toxic productivity to the downside of doing rather than being. They also cover the risk of over-accessibility of leaders as marketers. As Mandy says at one point in the chat, "There's nothing good about waking up and feeling like the day is chasing you." It's a shorter episode, but it's down, dirty, and super fun!
