Listen in as Ben Walter sits with a very special guest: chairman and CEO of JPMorganChase, Jamie Dimon. One of the world’s most respected financial thought leaders, Jamie will connect the dots between the current challenges facing small business owners and the broader financial landscape. And, of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of The Unshakeables if Jamie didn’t share some of the pivotal moments that he overcame to forge ahead in his own career. This season Ben will also be joined by some new co-hosts, all of whom are making waves in business and culture in their own right. In this first episode, you'll hear from Kathleen Griffith, founder of Grayce & Co. and author of Build Like a Woman.

Effective communication, whether written or verbal, is not only essential for efficiency but also carries significant legal implications. Failing to communicate with the right parties as specified in a contract can lead to a complete waiver of rights. Real-life examples illustrate the significance of this: one involving the Owner's responsibility in signing off on changes and the other highlighting the Contractor's role in communicating directly with the Owner. To ensure effective communication, it's crucial to send personalized and informative letters rather than poorly organized emails with cryptic attachments.
