Today, I talk with John Burton who has been on and off the entrepreneurial track but definitely now prefers being an entrepreneur. John started his career as an electrical engineer and was tapped to run a start-up in Ireland, where he learned how to build a company from the ground up. He’s founded and ran several businesses, most recently a fast-growing software services company which he cofounded with two Apple veterans, called UrsaLeo. 

UrsaLeo comes from the central idea of a company providing a “digital twin” that allows for virtual monitoring. UrsaLeo is uniquely positioned to help companies manage buildings in the time of social-distancing with the use of 3D technologies. 

John is finding that some companies are eager to use this time to implement new processes and strategies, proving that there might be hope for a quickly rebounding economy.

John has seen his fair share of dealing with hard times, having had to settle in mediation with a former partner at this old company. He talks candidly about how he handles stress, and how yoga and classical guitar are keys to helping him get through his day. 

Now let’s get better together
