ISO: The Assist

Education EN ↓ 5 episodes

For too long we been sold the idea that you grow in isolation. That it’s you vs you. Truth is, we made it because somebody in our community was doing real things and let us get close enough to learn. That access is disappearing. The Assist is a weekly talk highlighting overlooked individuals in our communities to share their journey, their playbook, and their game. ISO is where engineers, founders, doctors, lawyers - the ones truly building our communities - are celebrated like superstars. ISO is changing the culture. Status is no longer the standard. Impact is. It’s not you vs you anymore.
