I have nothing but incredibly positive things to say about the team at Grow My Program. For the first time in my career, I feel sincerely heard, respected, and taken care of. Working at Grow My Program stopped being a 'job' for me a long time ago, and became a passion project where I sincerely identify with us hitting our goals - I guess that's what comes with the support and respect Robin offers us. I have never felt like I can't or shouldn't voice an opinion during my time with the team, and I'm so excited to stick around for us to keep growing together.
