#14: The CEO Beneath The Mohawk: Punk Rock Entrepreneur On Authenticity and Scaling


Listen Later

When you envision the owner of a company, What do you see? 

Suit? Tie? Briefcase perhaps? 🤔

How about mohawk, piercings, and the letters G-E-E-K tattooed across their knuckles? 🤯 No? Not what you’d expect? Welp...Meet Rich Rudzinski

A laid back, tech-forward, entrepreneur with his mohawk up and his foot down, on the gas pedal towards growth.

Fast forward to 2008, when the whole job market hits the brakes. The live music world took a pause, but Rich did not. He shifts his career towards his second passion, technology. 

Shout out to @DanKhabi and the team at Mirum, where Rich first cut his teeth in the digital world. Once he had learned all he could there, he set off to fill what he saw as a void in the service most agencies provided. The rest...history,
