About this listen
In this episode of Bright Ideas, Desiree sits down with Shamir Duverseau, Managing Director of Smart Panda Labs, to explore how a people-first approach can fuel business growth and resilience. Shamir shares the hard pivots his agency made—from letting go of mismatched hires to niching down on the post-click experience—and why those decisions ultimately strengthened their culture and client relationships. He also opens up about the challenges of competing for talent as a small business, what it means to truly lead with "life first," and how continuous learning has shaped his leadership philosophy. Whether you're a founder navigating tough choices or a leader seeking smarter ways to scale, Shamir's story offers practical wisdom and a reminder that success doesn't have to come at the cost of what matters most.
