In this episode of The Blend with Kenz + Chan, we look back on the biggest growth we've experienced this fall—and why it still doesn’t feel like enough. We talk about how we’re managing this feeling within ourselves and our team, while also navigating challenges like the economy and recession.

We share the big advancements we’ve made, from building a new revenue stream to delegating more so we can focus on strategy and long-term growth. A year ago, we gave ourselves an ultimatum: we didn’t want our business to look the same by now, and that mindset has driven massive changes.

Tune in for an honest conversation about growth, strategy, and how setting a clear deadline sparked the change we needed.
