Description
Adapt or Die is a show for founders, operators, and go-to-market leaders navigating change before the market forces their hand. Host James Hayden brings decades of building and advising companies across real estate, SaaS, and channel partnerships to unpack how to spot inflection points early, open new revenue paths, and execute hard pivots without losing your core. Expect candid conversations, field-tested playbooks, and honest post-mortems on what actually worked so you can make sharper decisions when the stakes are highest.
