Ever wondered how interconnected your company's departments really are? Lauren likens customer support and success teams to a terrarium, where every department must work symbiotically to enhance user experience and reduce churn. We dive into the emotional vulnerability of customers and the crucial need for support teams to be involved early in product development and marketing.

We discuss how senior leaders can learn from younger mentors through curiosity, transforming defensiveness into opportunities for collaboration and understanding.
