About this listen

Successful leaders of boutique consulting firms share their advice for how to build a firm. In the CrackerJack Consulting Podcast, David A. Fields interviews people who have built inspiring, impressive consulting firms and teases out how they solved the critical challenges that could have stymied their growth. Every episode comes with a prize – a valuable infographic, worksheet, framework or other tool that draws from the podcast and you can use to help your consulting firm make progress. The podcast is specifically for leaders of boutique consulting firms (i.e., firms roughly $2m – $100m/year); however, if you have a smaller or larger practice, you may still find the episodes interesting and useful.2022 Economics Leadership Management Management & Leadership
