I’m excited to share the next podcast episode in my series of conversations with interesting people on topics where business and life intersect.

My discussion partner this week, Dave Rubinstein, is the brains and energy behind 100 Founders, a new project aimed to help ensure Founders survive, thrive, and transition from Founder-led sales.

Dave and I first collaborated twenty years ago, when we met roaming the halls of our large mutual client, Procter & Gamble. Dave spent his early career in a range of roles before finding his fit in technology sales. He went on to scale startups from $0 to $10 million and $1 million to $25 million, with a stint at Salesforce in between.

Here are a few things you’ll learn from our conversation:

·      Founders should think small (at first)

·      Testing reactions to challenge with transparency

·      How to turn meetings into a business model

I love any opportunity to learn from people who have been catalysts across several long company runs, and I think you’ll enjoy hearing how a high-flying mid-career leader remade himself by returning to a beginner’s mind.
