From homeschool football fields to leading U.S. Sales Ops at video-conferencing innovator Neat, Andrew Davis has taken anything but a straight path. In this candid sit-down with C.W. Elliott, Andrew unpacks:

• What Sales Ops really is—and why it sits at the intersection of strategy, data and people
• Moving from Fortune 500 giant to 350-person rocket-ship (and how he knew it was time)
• The “acres of diamonds” hiding in purposeful networking—and how to start while you’re still in school
• Growth-mindset vs. fixed-mindset, extreme ownership, and other guiding principles that shape top performers
• Why the best salespeople are relationship architects—and why everyone (yes, everyone) should learn to sell
• Leveraging AI to crank out a business case in 30 minutes instead of a week
• The boredom litmus test: signs you’re ready for the next challenge (and how to position yourself for it)

Whether you’re a student plotting your first move, an early-career pro hunting your next promotion, or a founder seeking to build an all-star sales org, this episode is packed with actionable insight on mindset, soft skills and intentional career design.
