    C12 Business Forums

    It can be lonely at the top, but it doesn’t have to be. For many business owners, leadership can feel isolating: big decisions, limited sounding boards, and pressure to always have the answer.

On this episode of CFO Coffee Talk, Troy Renfrow, MBA, Chair of Central Florida’s C12 Business Forums, shares what he’s learned from years of sitting at the table as both a member and a chair.  In this episode, we'll cover why peer accountability matters, how shared experience sharpens leadership, and what strong community can unlock for owners at every stage.
