Today we're joined by Amy Langer, co-founder of Salo, a professional services firm. Salo was established in 2002 ("before the gig economy was cool") to create a supportive environment for project-based workers.

Amy shares experiences from Salo's rapid growth and subsequent decline during the '08 financial recession, and the adjustments she and her business partner made to stabilize the organization.

She reflects on the highs and lows of running a company, the lessons she learned on her leadership journey, and the importance of developing a strategic plan based on mission, vision, and values.
