David runs Meetup, a company at the forefront of fighting the loneliness epidemic and today is net positive cash flow. It wasn’t always like this , when he took over as CEO, the company was bleeding cash, was plagued with inefficiencies, not to mention, it was just acquired by WeWork, a company (and its former CEO) now infamous for not being very good corporate citizens, that’s putting it mildly

In this episode, David talks about how to lead with kindness & empathy, prioritizing family, being honest in business and setting boundaries. I believe we can find relevant applications of the same to our work and life and I hope you are able to walk away with some deep insights to live a meaningful life like I did.

David is also the author of the Best seller ‘Decide and Conquer: 44 Decisions That Will Make or Break All Leaders’ a book where details his decision framework and how he used his qualities of being a good human to lead the sale of MeetUp out of WeWork and making it the thriving company it is today.

You can get the book on amazon or Book Depository (slightly cheaper)
