WOW! We could not have asked for a better 400th Podcast Episode Guest!

And, Jason Fried delivered. He was super candid about a great many topics that I think you will really enjoy listening about and learning from.

In this interview, Jason discusses:

  1. What he considers to be the harder part of the transition From Founder To CEO.
  2. Why he made this controversial decision: "No more societal and political discussions on our company Basecamp account."
  3. How the "fallout" from this decision impacted the company.
  4. How the "fallout" personally impacted him.
  5. What he did to get through the stressful and "sad" elements of this decision.
  6. Why this decision is a turning point for the company.
  7. What the future of Basecamp looks like.
  8. How a new COO and Product Leaders will factor into a relatively new structure for Basecamp's future.
  9. How he envisions being the CEO in the future.
  10. And so much more.

Like many of you, I have been reading Jason's books and his vulnerable online posts for many years.

You can tell he is a hard-working, kind-hearted man who strives to do the best he can.

I hope you enjoy listening to this very special 400th Founder interview as much as I did.

Tutoring is big business. And, Myles and the team figured out how to provide this valuable service for FREE to thousands of students.

It wasn't easy.

And, it became even harder when he and his co-founder, Victor, realized that two other co-founders may not be in it for the long haul.

What do you do when it becomes clear that a co-founder, or two, need to exit the business and there is not a pre-planned process for this?

Well, as Myles explains in this interview, it was stressful and there was lots of drama.

But, in the end, Myles learned a lot about influence, motivations, and how to speak into the hopes and fears of others.

You may remember Ashley from her appearance on ABC TV's "Shark Tank."

At the end of the show, Ashley received and accepted an offer from Daymond John.

What you don't know is the rest of the story.

Unfortunately, like many other deals on the show, this one did not make it through post show due diligence.

Ashley describes what happened and how taking a year off from her business helped her decide the answer to this question:

"Do I want to be the leader that pilots the company to forward growth?"
