This episode, I welcome back a guest who knows how to lead a start-up to unicorn, Ryan Burke. As my guest in episode 19, we scratched the surface of his experience scaling early-stage companies, and today we dive back into the discussion, revisiting his time at InVisionApp and how he’s using the same playbook as CRO of Qatalog. Ryan has constructed a framework that relies on three “F”’s to guide the early stages: the “first five”, the “foundation”, and the “future”. In the process of exploring each of Ryan’s F”’s, we uncover the key elements of structured feedback, effective strategies for managing fully distributed teams, and the ingenious move of hiring your company’s target persona. And if you haven’t already, check out his first appearance in episode 19 to hear more from Ryan Burke!
