What You Will Learn In Today's Podcast Interview

Podcast Interview Summary:

Anne shares with us that profit and growth do not need to come at the expense of a business’s stakeholders and their interests; if you can identify your goals and core values, you can integrate them into your company’s model to build an even more successful and long-lasting organization.

Anne and her partner had intentionality from the start of ILLUME when they decided to prioritize the needs and rights of their employees—this decision set the tone for their company’s entire culture and ethos.

This decision has attracted talented employees and fantastic clients, and it also produces exceptional work. In short, Anne and ILLUME are an awesome example of how being intentional about what you want from your business and engineering the company around your values puts you in an upward spiral of success.
