Coaching a Self-Funded Ad Tech CEO to Win Without Big-Company Money | Eric Frankel | Ep 1048

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"If you want people to respond to you, why would you not respond to people?" - Eric Frankel

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Eric Frankel for a live coaching conversation. Eric's challenge: building a championship team on a self-funded budget, with 25 people instead of hundreds.

You'll walk away with:

Why the hardest part of any new idea is the people, not the product
How thinking like your client's boss's boss's boss changes what you say
Why hoarding information quietly kills a team, and what sharing the roadmap does instead

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
