The Matt Baxter Show

Here is part 2 of our conversation with Karl Schmitt. In this episode Karl takes the floor and asks a couple of questions. This is easily one of the most fascinating and entertaining conversations we’ve ever had.

Karl Schmitt, Senior Customer Engagement Executive at SAP, has lived a lot of life. He gets into his wide ranging experience, not only professionally, but personally, that has led him to living a life of trying to, more than anything else, be a better person. This conversation was so fascinating that we kept it going for a bit longer than normal. Part 1 of 2.

Eric Arnold, the CEO of Planswell, comes on the show to talk about how, as a serial entrepreneur, he's built his career into what it is. Eric gets into a bit about his backstory, how failing has helped him a lot more than succeeding, and even a little bit of parenting. Eric was a great guest and we think you'll really enjoy this episode. 

Dr. Peter Boumgardner, Professor of Practice of Strategy and Organizations at Washington University in St. Louis, has some super practical advice about reaching goals and living a well rounded life on this episode!

Enrique Rubio, Founder of Global Hacking HR and Co-Founder of Cotopaxi, stops by the show to talk about his career and how he went from an electrical engineer to Founder of a Global HR Tech company. 

As a pioneer of viral and influencer branding, Rick Schirmer, Founder and CEO of ViralBrand.io, has done some pretty awesome and influential stuff, none of which compare to his interview on this episode. Kidding, obviously. The man has played a huge role in launching the marketing campaigns for multi-billion dollar movie franchises like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Purge We're pumped to have Rick on the show to talk about some of his work and he was even gracious enough to offer some tips to startups and small businesses looking to build their brand. Enjoy the show!

Minal Joshi Jäckli, founder of Open Elevator, stops by to talk a bit about what they are doing to change the way companies recruit people. Enjoy!

Rhonda Merchant, a proven Talent Acquisition Business Leader and Talent Branding visionary, swings by the show to talk about what it's like to be at the helm of culture defining initiatives. Creating a culture is important, but almost equally important is branding that culture. If co-workers don't experience the culture and job-seekers can't see the culture, it isn't really helping your organization. She shares some of her experience helping organizations create their culture and some of the things she's done to get the brand out there.
