Since joining Sonny Merryman in 2021\, he has focused on customer success\, innovation\, and long-term growth.\n\nCale will share the experiences\, decisions\, and lessons that have shaped his leadership journey\, including the seemingly small moments that made a bigger difference than he expected. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain practical insights they can apply to their own careers.\n\nWhether it's a conversation\, a mistake\, a relationship\, or a decision that seems insignificant at the time\, little things can shape big outcomes. Join us to hear how those moments have influenced Cale's journey and consider how they might shape yours.
