Often I’m interviewing other company builders that I admire, but it’s always energizing to be interviewed as well. I participated in a fireside chat with Carolyn Fikke at Golden Seeds, an early-stage investment firm focused on women-led businesses. I’m re-publishing our conversation here. We covered a range of topics, including:

* How does AI affect CS?

* What are the 7 fundamental attributes of companies with high growth efficiency (and talent efficiency)?

* What are the 4 dimensions on which we can coach our teams (and grow ourselves)?

This was a fun conversation! You can listen to the audio version or else read the lightly edited transcript below.
