When Ken Burke sold his company for a ten-digit exit, he thought he'd be enjoying the beach, but instead, he became a serial entrepreneur and re-empowered himself as a leader to build a new software company from nothing, facing the central conflict of his own culture vs the culture of his investors.

Ken Burke is the founder and CEO of the Entrepreneur Now Network and author of "Intelligent Selling: The Art and Science of Selling Online" and "Prosper: Five Steps to Thriving in Business and Life". He is an ecommerce pioneer and mentor who sold his enterprise-class ecommerce software platform, Market Live, to Vista Equity Partners in 2016 in a successful ten-figure exit.

Ken Burke learned about how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and culture that drives growth through his own journey of being an entrepreneur and leading his own tech company. He emphasizes the importance of culture by emphasizing that it goes beyond employees and extends to customers and even the board- to have a "no BS" attitude and allow the executive team to lead. He also stresses the value of investing in people, encouraging positive behavior, and creating an educational e-learning platform to foster customer loyalty.
