Retrospective w/ the Cutclass team, Leslie Levito and Sho Kazandijan

This episode is super special because you’ll get to meet my two business partners for Cutclass, Leslie and Sho. In this episode we demonstrate a retrospective. A retrospective is an exercise that we do after a launch or project or at the end of the year. This exercise allows our team to talk about our desired outcomes, talk about what worked, what didn’t work, what was missing, and most importantly show gratitude for one another and acknowledge one anothers contributions. Usually, I have a pretty structured episode flow, but this episode is going to be very much conversational, real, and organic. We haven't rehearsed any of the questions we're going to review today, so you’re going to get a real behind the scenes look at how we run our business.  Before we get into the nitty gritty, let me give you a little background on 2 of my most favorite people and business besties, Les and Sho.  Les has launched over 50 brands, owns 2 businesses, Cutclass and a branding Agency called Brands Etcetera. While I focus on helping people build their business through networking and adding key foundational processes and systems in place, Leslie focuses on helping people transition from their 9-5 jobs to launching their own businesses.  Leslie has so many ways people can work with her, through her 10 week course called Out to Launch Academy or through her many free resources like her podcast called Out to Launch or through the many tips, tools, and strategies she’s drips out on her TikTok account called Let Go and Discover.  Sho has also launched multiple brands and she too owns 2 businesses, Cutclass and her branding Agency with Les, Brands Etcetera. Sho is a design, branding, and art directing wizard. Everything that you see on our social channels, podcasts, website, business cards or opt-ins is touched and worked on by Sho. While she hangs out in the background of our brand, she is very much in the forefront of everything that we create. Our brand wouldn’t be where it is today without her bringing our visions to life. I’m so excited to give you insight on how we run Cutclass and share a little piece of my heart with y’all today go jump into this episode!
