Why Urgency Beats Strategy Every Time

Why Urgency Beats Strategy Every Time

Author: Nick Huber April 24, 2025 Duration: 5:05

In this episode, I sat down with Ryan Hawk to talk about the one thing that separates winners from everyone else, urgency. You don't need another meeting, you need to make a decision and get it done by lunch. I also shared the story of how my VP of Finance called me out on a bad deal, and why creating a culture where your team can challenge you is non-negotiable. If you can move fast, change your mind when new info hits, and reward people who tell you the truth.
