Nick Raquet’s LinkedIn now says he’s a “Professional Baseball Player with the St. Louis Cardinals.” But just a couple of years ago, he was a consultant at the “Big Four” firm, Ernst & Young (EY).When Covid hit in 2020, Raquet, now 29, was a minor leaguer who hadn’t advanced past single-A (the lowest tier) ball.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Being called a “Neanderthal” has long been shorthand for a knuckle-dragging brute — an insult implying someone is primitive and clueless. In popular imagination and even early science, Neanderthals were cast as dim-witted cavemen, a species of losers on the evolutionary stage. But recent discoveries have radically rewritten that story. Far from being sub-human dullards, Neanderthals are now understood as complex, intelligent hominins who created art, used tools and even share genetic ties with all of us.In a sense, the Neanderthal “brand” has undergone a posthumous PR makeover: from reviled caveman to…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Planning isn’t sexy. It doesn’t trend. No one’s going viral for updating their content calendar or plotting campaign touchpoints.But here’s the hard truth most marketers won’t admit out loud: the teams that win are the ones who plan. Period.As CEO of The Go! Agency, I’ve worked with growth-stage startups, international brands and Fortune 500s. And the difference between consistent growth and quarterly chaos always comes down to this — the presence or absence of a plan that actually works. Yet every August, the same cycle begins.
