From graduating 3rd in a class of 15 to leading North America’s largest community of retail tech providers, Jim’s story is full of underdog grit and “walk-on” energy.

• How RSPA helps VARs, ISVs, vendors & distributors grow together

• Why “cheating” is illegal in school but essential in business (borrow the answers!)

• What happens when members get out of their comfort zone and into their courage zone

• Why the real MVP at RetailNOW might’ve been… the coffee & donut station

If you care about community, collaboration, and staying ahead instead of playing catch-up, this one’s worth a listen.
