Today's Podcast:
 
Kerriann Greenhalgh, CEO & Founder - KeriCure, Inc
 
I love interviewing Founding CEOs because I get to speak with highly intelligent, impact leaders who are doing great things for others...and Dr. Kerriann Greenhalgh is a great example. She is using the power of nanoparticles to revolutionize wound care and even bring new life to old antibiotics. And, she is an equally amazing leader. Listen as she explains how she put all this together and her helpful tips about how to vet outside vendors and providers...her "buyers' club" is pure genius.

Jordann Windschauer, CEO & Founder - Base Culture
 
Jordann is the type of person you can listen to and in the first 5 minutes you are inspired. I enjoyed speaking with her because her determination and passion for all things paleo is so encouraging. And, you'll like her wisdom on not saying no, how to deal with her young age in a "good ole boys" industry, and some of these great quotes:
  • "Challenges render strength"
  • "I wasn't performing well in my job because I was baking from 7PM until 3AM and then waking up and going to work from 8 to 5 and then working out in between...it was pretty hectic for awhile."
  • "I don't understand...the word no...I can't wrap my head around it."
  • "I get told no everyday."
  • "We're not doing it the normal way."
  • "The rules are not necessarily in stone."
  • "I've had to learn that my age is not a limiting factor."
  • "I would say the most important thing is to lead with honesty."
  • "You never know what's going to happen...if you are honest and vulnerable...you put yourself out there...a lot of people appreciate that and will help you."
  • "Be you, be who you are."

Raj Sheth, CEO & Co-founder - Recruiterbox
 
It was a lot of fun to have Founding CEO, Raj Sheth, come back a second time on the podcast. He and his team have done a great job growing his business and I wanted all of you to hear an update on his company and his journey From Founder To CEO. Raj also talks about some updated hiring tips his team have collected as well as some great insights about the advantages of using an applicant tracking system (ATS).

Today's Podcast:
 
Caitlin MacGregor, Co-founder & CEO - Plum

You can probably tell from my voice in this interview, that I am really excited about this company, Plum. I have a fair amount of experience with assessments for selection and Plum is really shaking up this older industry. What's even more fascinating about what they are doing is that they are led by a Co-founding CEO who really understands herself, her skills, her strengths, and her limitations in a way that I rarely see. But, then again, she is the CEO of an assessment company. :) So, I highly recommend you listen very carefully to Plum's value proposition, Caitlin's knowledgable insights about hiring, and how she has conquered being "too agreeable." You'll also hear her say:

  • "I see myself as a fixer."
  • "A job post should be a marketing tool..."
  • "We just won a pitch competition..."

Tope Awotona, CEO & Founder - Calendly

Tope Awotona wanted an easier and better way to schedule meetings. So, he created it. A few years later he is having GREAT success with Calendly.  And, he is really crushing it with a "freemium" business model that has twice the paid upgrade rate as other software as a service platforms. He also talks about his 3 Big Tips About Prioritization & Team Alignment, and these quotes:

  • "I believe that you get what you given into any given situation."
  • "...we actually took a pause...from the time we launched the product...and did not add a single feature until we were really able to really sort out the requests...what what really a deal breaker for people...versus what was a nice to have..."
  • "90% of being the boss is repeating the same thing over and over again."
  • "Charge more, charge earlier."
