We have an exciting announcement to make this episode! Apply Yourself is growing and I am so pleased to introduce Jonathan Mackenzie to the podcast AND the Apply Yourself Team as our Chief Operating Officer! Jonathan has a professional background as a litigator and was called to the bar in 2011. Jonathan has been here since the very beginning of Apply Yourself’s humble beginnings back in 2015 and has a rich understanding and embodiment of our core vision, mission, values, and goals. Full disclosure: Jonathan and Adrienne are actually married and are working together both at Apply Yourself: The Advancement Spot Inc. and at their law firm, Shnier Mackenzie Law & Policy Consulting!
