What do you do when your decade-long dream of winning the Tour de France comes to a premature end in your early 20s? You turn around and co-found one of the most successful companies in the history of the New Zealand tech sector. (400+ employees, $130 million in annual revenue, and - as of this recording - a market cap of over $2 billion.)

Or at least that's what you do if you're Eliot Crowther, our guest on the podcast this week, and the co-founder of Pushpay. Eliot is one of those guys who oozes passion and purpose in everything he does, and that comes through loud and clear (and Kiwi-accented) in everything he shares during our conversation. We talk about...

  • The challenges of starting and then running a transoceanic organization. (Pushpay has offices in Seattle, Colorado Springs, and Auckland, NZ.) 
  • The "tension" between living your values and doing what's required for your business. 
  • How he knew when it was time to step away from the company he started.
  • The difference between happiness and joy (#MoreMoneyMoreProblems)
  • And a lot more! 

Give it a listen and let us know what you think! And then get #BackToWork.
