This week we dive deep into the fascinating career of Jamie Izaks, co-founder and president of All Points Public Relations. Jamie's journey from journalism to the hospitality industry, and finally to entrepreneurship, is a story of inspiration and perseverance. Jamie and I have known each other for 18 years, but it wasn't until recently that I truly understood the depth of his background.
