Episode Overview

In this episode, we talk with Ellen Rohr, Brand and Industry Marketing Lead at ServiceTitan, to discuss how to turn post-conference enthusiasm into tangible business results. She shares her practical, old-school strategies for managing big ideas, breaking down overwhelming projects, and effectively delegating tasks without micromanaging.
