If you have an interest in innovation and/or your organization needs to work through dense, complicated contracts, this episode is for you. Street Diligence Founder & CEO, Stephen Hazelton, talks to Carol about how the idea came about. Founded in 2012, the Street Diligence platform is able to extract numeric and textual information around the terms and conditions and obligations of the contract and deliver the information back to their clients so they can understand the contract and do due diligence in order to negotiate better terms for themselves.

Stephen is a second-time founder and he's not shy about discussing what he did in his first venture that didn't work as he expected and what he changed the second time around. He also talks candidly about hiring challenges and mistakes he's made and what he's doing to improve hiring success.
