In the world of conventional leadership, experience and expertise often take center stage, but this misses something important… cultivating a childlike sense of wonder and curiosity. 

If you’re a fan of instilling a growth mindset in yourself and others then this episode is for you.

Mike Evans, Co-Founder of Grubhub and CEO of Fixer challenges us all to rethink our approach to success as we uncover the untapped potential of embracing naivete, and he shares a powerful example of how it’s elevated his business. 

In case you're not familiar with Grubhub, they are the leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace with the largest and most comprehensive network of restaurant partners, as well as 32 million active diners.

Fixer the "right now" handyman service, responding to customer requests in less than an hour with skilled, friendly workers.

Mike is also Author of Hangry: A Startup Journey, my memoir about starting Grubhub and running it through to the IPO.
