Meet Dan Cremons, our guest for today's episode. He landed in the private equity space in 2007, and according to him, it was thanks to a few strokes of luck and a little elbow grease. Since the early days, Dan has led investments, served on numerous boards, built out portfolio operations and human-capital capabilities, and led within several private equity-backed companies as a CEO and CXO. Dan helps portfolio companies’ leadership teams define their winning future, get clear on the stepping-stones in that direction, and ensure they have the right team and culture in place to get there.

After fifteen years of working his way up though the competitive ranks of New York City’s financial sector, today's guest Andy Pudalov made a conscientious decision to leave his position as Global Head of Fixed Income Derivative Trading at National Australia Bank to pursue an interest he felt was a virtue of higher importance. While he worked his entire adult life for a number of prestigious financial institutions to achieve an expertise in institutional fixed income derivative trading, he simply felt it time to gratify another more altruistic ambition he had always held. That was when he founded Rush Bowls. Andy took Rush Bowls from strength to strength. And yes, even through the pandemic. Find out more about Andy and Rush Bowls with today's episode.

Doug Thede moved into executive leadership roles for companies like Sitehawk and Microstrategy after getting his BA in Accounting at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and working in tax for Big Four accounting firms. He may have started his career in Finance, but he thinks "beyond the spreadsheet," and views his primary job as building and leading great teams. He always has a good book to recommend and, one of these days, plans to try his hand at writing fiction. Doug loved creating by digging tunnels in sand castles as a child and remains a bit fascinated with tunnels to this day.

Meet Steven Moy, CEO of Barbarian. I've interviewed Steven for my book, The Little Book Of Big Scale, and knew I just had to have him on the show! We had a great discussion, even reminisced about an ancient (by the internet's standards) viral ad campaign. 

Since joining Barbarian as CEO in 2019, Steven has fundamentally reshaped the agency from top to bottom. He has launched Barbarian’s first global office in Warsaw, Poland; added 15 new clients (including Kendo, NARs, Cetaphil, K-Y, Durex, Caliber, Emergent Holdings, American Express and Mucinex); launched 4 new business practices including Consulting and an industry-first alliance with sports media personality Jay Williams; and hired new Creative and Technology department heads from AKQA and R/GA. These accomplishments led Steven to be named to Campaign’s 40 Over 40 list in 2020. In 2021, FastCompany honored Barbarian's 2020 Social Commerce Innovation Mucinex Sickwear as a World Changing Idea and invited Steven to join Fast Company Executive Board as an Official Board Member.
