(https://ghapodcast.com)**********************************************************************Lee Miller has lived inside the kind of businesses many consultants struggle to advise effectively. He scaled multiple construction and home services companies to seven figures, burned out, and then rebuilt them using clear systems, strong leadership, and disciplined execution. That experience now informs his coaching work at Brave Academy. Today, Lee works closely with general contractors and cabinet makers who are trapped in the day-to-day.

How to Drive Growth by Aligning Strategy, Leadership and Execution With Jasmine Martirossian

Look into the "3 Ways to Generate Leads With Your Podcast" E-book for free here on our website! (https://ghapodcast.com)**********************************************************************Jasmine Martirossian works with CEOs, founders, and boards at moments when growth slows, complexity increases, and leadership alignment becomes a hidden risk. Her work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and execution, especially during inflection points where the cost of poor decisions is high. Rather than offering generic frameworks, Jasmine starts with diagnosis. She helps leadership teams identify what is truly constraining progress, clarify strategic direction, and align around the few decisions that matter most. The outcome isn’t more activity, it’s clearer thinking, so effort compounds instead of dispersing. With a PhD in Law, Policy, and Society, experience in C-suite roles, and certification as a Gallup Strengths Coach, Jasmine brings both academic rigor and real operating experience to the table. This conversation is especially relevant for consultants working with senior decision-makers in complex, fast-evolving organizations. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
