Guest:
Chad Jenkins is a visionary entrepreneur whose unique approach to scaling businesses has set him apart in the world of innovation. From a young age, Chad exhibited a knack for exponential growth, an ability that he attributes to a simple yet profound principle he discovered at the tender age of eight—adding a zero. However, Chad is quick to clarify that the genuine potency of his strategy lies not just in numerical expansion, but in the transformative impact it has on one's mindset and operational tactics.
Throughout his illustrious career, Chad has leveraged this foundational concept to drive remarkable success across multiple enterprises.
