44. Kevin Dahlstrom: How to Lead Fearlessly (7 Key Lessons)


Listen Later

We’re back with another episode of our Founder Series. We’re thrilled to welcome Kevin Dahlstrom to the podcast!

Kevin is the Founder and CEO of Swell, a disruptive FinTech that is on a mission to reduce credit card debt by a billion dollars. 

He’s spent his career in financial services and has served as Chief Marketing oOfficer for Elevate, Mr. Cooper and Central Pacific Bank. 

He is also a rock climber. He's a father. He's probably the fittest 50 year old we've ever met and the nicest guy on Twitter, which is probably why he’s got about 40,000 followers. 

In this episode, Kevin shares his 7 essential lessons to leading fearlessly and growing cultures in which people and businesses thrive. Join the conversation as we learn:

  • Values are for life, not for walls
  • The way you do anything is the way you do everything
  • Never bargain shop for talent
  • Don’t chase a misguided definition of success
  • Culture trumps strategy, every time
  • You don’t learn anything when things are going well
  • Compounding is key

  • If you’re looking to liven up your own leadership development and learn lessons that you can apply in all aspects of your life, you’ll love this episode. And Kevin.
