Learn golden nuggets as they talk about standing out in a company, leading people, building cultures, persuasion, marketing, management, and building businesses from scratch. Light on theory and heavy on practical experience, they weave personal,&nbsp;and often humorous,&nbsp;stories from their collective 50 years of business experience.

Ian&nbsp;Mathews is the CEO of 5on4 Group, a management training company, and consultancy. He is also the CRO of the technology startup Keep Technologies, a featured writer for Forbes, and a prolific capital raiser. In 2018,&nbsp;Ian&nbsp;retired from corporate America after serving two decades as a senior executive for two Fortune 500 companies, while moonlighting as an advisor for a tech startup with a $28-million exit.&nbsp;Ian’s daily newsletter is followed by more fans than you will find at home games of his beloved Detroit Lions.
