There is an age-old saying that 'Two heads are better than one' and that is why in episode 5 of The Decoding Purpose Podcast I wanted to unlock everything there is to know about collaboration. The art of creating shared purpose.Today's guest is a self-proclaimed marketing geek with a passion for playing cupid in the world of brand partnerships. Her name is Jess Ruhfus and she is the founder of Collabosaurus, a brand-to-brand matchmaker for marketing partnerships.Jess founded Collabosaurus in 2014, and since then the business has grown core revenue at an average of 157% year on year. That said, a very down to earth Jess would tell you herself that while she is extremely proud of her entrepreneurial success....her adventure has only just begun. Jess is undoubtedly the Aphrodite of brand partnerships and I have watched in awe from the sidelines as this 'match making' goddess continues to rise.Collabosaurus was built with the intention to source and create growth opportunities in any industry via collaboration, and the same principles are so easily applied to the pursuit of shared purpose.
