On episode 141 I am joined by Danielle Gillespie, founder of Ideas Last. Danielle Gillespie is a tech geek who thrives on building rock solid products that people love.

Her success is based on one central theme: Ideas Last.

Danielle has over 25 years of experience developing tech products. Her experience covers a variety of industries including hospitality, health and wellness, manufacturing, retail and first responders.

One thing that products in all industries have in common: the best products focus on customers first while downplaying “idea”.

Danielle has worked for start-ups of various sizes and stages for the majority of her career. She founded her own company, has held various product development roles and actively advises a handful of start-up tech companies.

In the episode you will hear:

01:00 accidentally falling in to software development

03:00 when you realise your solution can solve other problems elsewhere

04:30 a lot of entrepreneurs are being fleeced

05:00 the flaws behind an ideas mindset

08:45 get 5 people who love your product and see how they interact with it

13:00 adding significant value by doing what you’re good at

16:00 the long term success is not about the idea

17:30 the intersection of the idea and the playground

I hope this conversation inspires you to show up in the leadership playground.

Always love

Ryan
