The Playbook: Marketing, Branding, & Strategic Collaboration

The most overlooked growth lever for early-stage entrepreneurs isn’t product quality. It’s strategic visibility. Research from HubSpot’s 2023 State of Marketing report found that businesses with documented marketing strategies are 313% more likely to achieve their goals. Most small business owners spend time creating content and almost no time distributing it. This session flips that equation.

The Playbook is a 4-session experiential learning program designed for early-stage entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders who are actively building, growing, or preparing to scale their ventures.

Each session pairs a specific business domain (funding, marketing, finance, or systems) with the emotional intelligence and mental performance research that determines whether people actually apply what they learn. 

Sessions are led by Kurt Faustin and feature expert panelists with lived and professional expertise in the session topic.
