Dom is a serial entrepreneur with a brand technology platform and has been in the digital marketing space very early on. I loved hearing how he talked about the pivots but one commonality is “impact” and how to make that impact within the organization. While the technologies and things in business will evolve and change, I liked that he focused on which is what doesn't change rather than trying to chase trends and predict what does change.
