The GOATS of Growth’s Post

"What major setbacks did you face early on and how did you overcome them?" That was one of the 26 questions I asked the GOATS who agreed to let me interview them for the GOATS of Growth book so far. Many more interviews to publish, but wanted to release an excerpt to that question about setbacks now, given the challenges many companies have faced over the last 18 months or so. Each person shared a different set of challenges, but one common theme I picked up on was their ability to persist and persevere when things got hard. You can hear more of each of their answers on today's episode of The GOATS of Growth by searching for it in your listening apps or simply clicking the link in the comments below. Big thanks and shout out to John McMahon, Elissa Fink, Ed Calnan, Mark Roberge,Laura Zwahlen, and Ryan Burke for agreeing to set aside your valuable time to be interviewed. Turns out that another theme has emerged; Great leaders are also gracious people.
