<p>#276 What if the one strategy that built your business suddenly stopped working? Would you know how to pivot — or would you crash and burn? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Adam Robinson, former Wall Street trader turned successful entrepreneur. After the 2008 financial crash upended his career at Lehman Brothers, Adam took a leap into the unpredictable world of online business. He shares his rollercoaster journey — facing failures, finding product-market fit, and ultimately building Retention.com into a multi-million dollar company. We dive deep into the importance of resilience, why cold email still works (when done right), and the hard truths about scaling a startup.
