    Caitlin MacGregor, Co-founder & CEO - Plum

    You can probably tell from my voice in this interview, that I am really excited about this company, Plum. I have a fair amount of experience with assessments for selection and Plum is really shaking up this older industry. What's even more fascinating about what they are doing is that they are led by a Co-founding CEO who really understands herself, her skills, her strengths, and her limitations in a way that I rarely see. But, then again, she is the CEO of an assessment company. :) So, I highly recommend you listen very carefully to Plum's value proposition, Caitlin's knowledgable insights about hiring, and how she has conquered being "too agreeable." You'll also hear her say:

    • "I see myself as a fixer."
    • "A job post should be a marketing tool..."
    • "We just won a pitch competition..."

      Tope Awotona, CEO & Founder - Calendly

      Tope Awotona wanted an easier and better way to schedule meetings. So, he created it. A few years later he is having GREAT success with Calendly.  And, he is really crushing it with a "freemium" business model that has twice the paid upgrade rate as other software as a service platforms. He also talks about his 3 Big Tips About Prioritization & Team Alignment, and these quotes:

      • "I believe that you get what you given into any given situation."
      • "...we actually took a pause...from the time we launched the product...and did not add a single feature until we were really able to really sort out the requests...what what really a deal breaker for people...versus what was a nice to have..."
      • "90% of being the boss is repeating the same thing over and over again."
      • "Charge more, charge earlier."
