Most folks go where the puck is. Visionaries? They go where the puck is gonna be.
In this episode, we dig into what it really means to think ahead in business—and how that mindset can drive long-term growth. Dennis and Chris unpack how to build a five-year plan, recognize your weak spots, and surround yourself with the right people (hint: not yes-men).
We hear the story of Marjorie Merriweather Post—a 27-year-old who turned breakfast into big business—and how her instincts reshaped American kitchens. We also talk Cape Cod Gutter Monkeys, marketing wins (and flops), and why hitting every goal might mean your goals aren't ambitious enough.
This one’s packed with stories, strategy, quotes, and a reminder: your vision doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to keep you moving forward.
So grab your coffee, sit back, and welcome to Monkey Business Radio.
