Episode 048: FIGuring It Out with Monique Mills

On this week's episode of Unpolished MBA, Monique is thrilled to share with listeners the story behind her new venture, Focused Innovation Group. Monique shares some of the anxiety that she has been feeling about being the public face of the group and how the lead-up to launch has emboldened her to find the courage to be confident in leveling up her game and insisting that she “can't stop, won't stop.”

Monique goes on to share the exciting news about her new role and how Focused Innovation Group is looking to acquire and rejuvenate small manufacturing and industrial businesses in and around America's rust belt by transforming their technological, marketing and digital platforms to align with today's standards. Known as FIG for short, Focused Innovation Group will be leveraging Monique’s experience as well as the networks of TPM Focus, TPM Marketing, and beyond to bring greater prosperity, equality, and diversity to one of the hardest hit sectors of the American economy. 

This venture is only getting started and Monique is excited to share with listeners the experience of growing FIG from the ground up while offering some of the lessons, insights, and inevitable roadblocks that she and her team will experience along the way!
