Lucas Shaffer
My path into entrepreneurship was not a straight line. I started Stand And Stretch after spending years working in design, marketing, and web development roles where I repeatedly saw a disconnect between what businesses were promised and what they actually received. Marketing was often treated as a collection of tactics instead of a system tied to real business outcomes. Read more>>
