Please join me in welcoming Zvi Band.

In this episode we discuss:

• his thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is establishing a culture of expectations that exist mainly when you are not involved.”
• how he became a leader by being thrust into leadership roles, without realizing his capabilities.
• his unique views on negative customer feedback, which he sees as a positive because it means they are engaged and loving his app, but that they are frustrated with something that could work for them better, which gives him ideas for what to improve.
• how hot sauce is a part of how he weaves his personality into growing relationships with others.
• his beliefs that diverse networks are necessary for learning new things, finding fresh ideas, and understanding how businesses are successful for many years.
• how he has been working to change his business mindset from survival mode to stability mode so he can focus on different aspects of his business.
