The relationship between the barber and the barber's client is very important. No one understands that more than Obi and his co-founder.
They started "The Cut" in 2016 and have seen incredible growth.
That growth has come with the need to grow as a leader.
For Obi, delegating certain things has been a challenge. Listen as he describes what has been the hardest thing for him to give up as he transitions from Founder to CEO.
If you are looking for an example of a hardworking Founder & CEO, look no further than Carl Daikeler.
Carl has been leading his company for 21 years and has the failures and success...more of them...to show for it.
In this interview, Carl details what makes Beachbody unique, how he and his team successfully navigated Covid-19...and a surprisingly revealing admission about him and the future of the company.
You'll want to listen to this to the very end.
I grew up in Connecticut and LOVED when we were able to get Dunkin Donuts' Munchkins® Donut Hole Treats. So, many years later having the opportunity to interview Robert Rosenberg, the CEO of Dunkin Donuts for over 30 years, THAT was a REAL treat.
Bob and spoke about his new book, "Around the Corner to Around the World: A Dozen Lessons I Learned Running Dunkin Donuts." I really enjoyed his book because Bob is quite candid and vulnerable about not only the successes but ALSO his personal mistakes and failings.
What got in his way, early on? Hubris. Bob talks at length about how hubris temporarily impacted him AND the company...and how he recovered from it.
Let Bob and I know what you think of his book.
15 years ago, Kara and her husband, Theo, set on on a grand adventure. With no experience in the beverage industry, they wanted to create a beverage drink with only one thing in it, fruit...nothing else. That proved harder than you might think. She chronicles the ups and downs of Hint Water in her new book, Undaunted.
Kara and I had an in depth conversation about the business, the book, her family, and her biggest challenge moving from Founder to CEO.
