How to Coach Your Company to Win Championships with Jason Nazar (pt. 2)


Listen Later

In part one of our conversation,

DocStoc co-founder and former CEO Jason Nazar told us the three
hiring practices that helped support the company’s massive
growth. 

In part two, we dive even further.

In Episode 4, Jason talks about why he encourages his employees to
act as though they are the CEO. On the flip side, he reveals why he
thinks of himself as a D1 college coach, and why he tells his
employees that their goal should be to “go pro.” 

Jason also talks about the absolute

worst advice he’s ever received as an entrepreneur, and
how his dad has a habit of putting him in his
place. 

Finally, we end the episode with

Jason in the hot seat as we play another round of “Minute of
Magic.”

We really appreciated Jason’s

insight on the topics of leadership and culture, and can’t thank
him enough for taking the time to sit with us.
