Season 5 - Episode 5: Lessons from a Startup Great: Mark Organ’s Blueprint for Success
In this episode of Startup Different, we discuss our insightful conversation last week with Mark Organ. We'll unpack the myths of entrepreneurship, the importance of communication, iterative improvement, and the dynamics of acquisitions. We'll also explore how effective communication and customer connection can drive business success, the iterative processes that lead to improvement, and the significance of understanding the founder's role post-acquisition. Let's get into it!
Episode Sponsor: Zeroqode
Hey! One thing that Chris and I have talked a lot about on this show is how easy it is to build apps and automations with no-code tools. One of the most powerful tools out there is called bubble - but even though Bubble is a no-code platform it can get a little complicated to do things on your own - and so our sponsor today is an agency that's called Zeroqode (that's Z-e-r-o-q-o-d-e) which is a Top Bubble Agency and that can help you build any web, mobile or AI application - as well automate your entire business using no-code and AI tools. Zeroqode will help you build custom solutions, CRMs, custom dashboards, marketplaces or internal tools to automate your business much faster and cheaper. However if you want to try to build on Bubble yourself - Zeroqode is also the biggest plugin builder for Bubble and they have more than 700 plugins - make sure you check them out. Discover the simplicity and power of no-code & AI at Zeroqode.com - that's zeroqode and qode with a 'q’.
