08 Mar #01 Lessons of Day Drinking | Adam Loeffler, Owner of Details Nashville
Setting Goals & Guidelines for Business Success
For my very first episode, I had long-time Nashville industry pro and friend, Adam Loeffler of Details Nashville, over to my office for a chat and a bit of bourbon. His multi-media company specializes in Wedding & Corporate Photography & Videography as well as Photo & Video Booths. We talked about Adam’s start in the industry, how he sets and measures goals for his company and the things he considers when making important business decisions. That and why he uses personality tests and sometimes day drinking to maximize the efforts of his team.
