There is no excuse for doing the work. Your organization can have all the certifications, bonding, and insurance in the world, but at the end of the day, if you don’t perform, you won’t find new opportunities, experience growth, and scale successfully. Our guest, Yajaira Morphonios, knows firsthand what it means to do the work. Yajaira is the Co-Founder and Owner of Strategic Alliance Consultants, a minority- and women-owned engineering and construction project management firm located in Kentucky. She joins the show to share her experience in the midst of scaling her firm with certifications, a mentor/mentee program, and how she is utilizing strategic partnerships in order to take on bigger projects. Uncle Sam’s Secret Sauce is hosted by Rafael Marrero, Founder and CEO of Rafael Marrero & Company, which helps small companies do business with the world’s biggest customer: the U.S. Federal Government.
