About this Episode:
In this episode the guys cover some critical current events regarding the FTC’s push to ban Non-Compete Agreements and Congress passing a bill, that President Biden signed into law, that bans TikTok. The rest of the episode is all about consulting. There is a high level discussion of what consulting is (and is not), how organizations leverage consultants, and some other topics that set the stage for future deeper dive discussions (with more Braden eye rolls!)
