Episode 44: What is the "Think Like an App" Mentality with Neal Polachek

In this episode we interview Neal Polachek who is the owner and creator of think like an app and has been a mentor to many small businesses in his career.

We were lucky enough to hear Neal’s presentation while he was in town with our friends at Broadly and we thought it would be good for you all to hear it as well. Neal discusses the key points of his think like an app presentation which we feel has a ton of value for you and your business.

As small business owners it is important to adapt to the changes and advancements of the world, but at the same time hold true to your values. We discuss several ways you can make your customer experience even better and how to make them customers for life.

We encourage you all to be open minded and be willing to adopt some new practices into your business if you see fit. See you out there Pool Chasers!
