Jeff Ryznar has worked at some of the biggest ad agencies in the country, ran strategic marketing for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the LeBron era (and after), launched an AI-driven tech company in San Francisco, and has spent the last 11 years building 898 Marketing into a 47-person agency. In this episode, Jeff breaks down the one principle that's connected every chapter — growth only happens when you're uncomfortable — and shares the habits, mindset shifts, and hard-earned lessons that marketers and founders can apply right now.
