“We didn’t have a board, but it was clear we needed one. I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know how to set it up, how to select directors, or the guardrails to have around it. I was initially thinking we needed a fiduciary board, but Josh helped me realize that an advisory board was more appropriate and could achieve our desired outcomes.”
