Jeff Bellomo sits down with Lily Bertolet—a grad student and marketing assistant—to discuss how an unexpected opportunity as a 12-year-old grew into a front-row seat to mission-driven work at Bellomo & Associates. Along the way, Lily has learned about earning what you're given, the value of inspiration, and how initiative and opportunity can be used to create new opportunities.

The conversation leads to a behind-the-scenes look at the firm's marketing efforts, including all the work involved and how the team blends creativity with data, strategy, and problem-solving. Jeff and Lily provide several valuable takeaways for young people just starting as well as business owners and leaders, from knowing what you don't know to smart, intuitive hiring and relying on the good people around you.
