Today's Podcast:
 
Amit Mehta, Founder & CEO - Moblize

Despite one of the largest bubble bursts in the oil and gas industry, Amit Mehta has not only been able to create great value in that industry, but he has been able to grow his company in this challenging and very traditional industry. He is a fountain of knowledge and experience that he freely shares in this interview. You will learn about:

  • How he turned $3 into a multi-million dollar company
  • How hiring with heart and head changed his company
  • Why he promotes his company as "Insights as a Service" rather than "Software as a Service"
  • How he had to change his founder mindset to a "Chief Excellence Officer" mindset

One of the other things I learned about Mehta is how much he loves to read. I thought I read a lot. But, wow...he is the epitome of "leaders are readers." Listen and let me know what you think.

Adrienne Garland, Founder & CEO - She Leads Media

Adrienne Garland is a leader on a mission - on a mission to uplift and educate women leaders and entrepreneurs to be the leaders they can be. Along the way, she has learned a lot about herself as a leader and Founding CEO as she has built her company. I'm sure many of you can relate to her stories about:

  • Scalable business models
  • Delegation
  • Focus
  • Building a team

For me, Adrienne's perseverance, grit, and determination are inspirational.

Darpan Munjal, Founder & CEO - Squadhelp

A few months ago I was looking for some help naming our new service (I can't wait to share it with you). Many of you would probably agree, it can be challenging to find good names that are not already being used. So I was excited when I read about Squadhelp in Dan Shapiro's book, "Hot Seat: The Startup CEO Guidebook." I checked it out and it seemed like a great resource to help with our new service.

The experience was amazing. We found our name! So, I figured there had to be a great Founding CEO and dedicated team behind this crowdsourcing platform. I was right. Darpan Munjal's leadership insights, challenges, and stumbles have all led to an organization that delivers on its promise.

I think you'll learn a lot from his "leadership struggle" story about focus. As always, please let me know what you think.
