With all the recent ransomware hacks (Colonial Pipeline, JBS the world's largest meat supplier, etc) I was intrigued when this opportunity to interview Mahmoud presented itself..
On today’s episode, I have Mahmoud Abdelkader, the CEO of Very Good Security, which is like a credit card network for exchanging data
Mahmoud co-founded and served as the CTO of a a YCominbator company, Balanced Payments, which was sold to Stipe in 2015. He is also an active angel investor, serves as an advisor to numerous FinTech startups
Mahmoud really had to break down what he does for me in simplest terms, and the best way I can explain it is: just like most of us don't carry around cash money, he wants companies to stop carrying their data. No data = no ransomware hacks and loss of billions of dollars (and increase in gas prices, food, etc)
In addition to talking about cybersecurity, we talked about Mahmoud's history transitioning from NYC to NorCal and being a part of 2 startup acquisitions prior to starting VGS
This is a great interview and I learned a ton! Check it out, leave a review, and share with a friend

Rod is the Co-Founder and CEO of Springbuk, a Health Intelligence platform with a vision to prevent disease with data. Prior to launching Springbuk, Rod founded and scaled a benefits and wellness consulting firm into one of the largest in the Midwest
The origin story for the name of Springbuk is awesome, but what's more awesome is their mission and how they plan to accomplish it
At first glance, this topic might seem irrelevant or boring to some of you. I thought the same. But it's something that impacts every single one of us, whether we are employees or business leaders
Check it out and lean in so you can be enlightened by Rod's knowledge like I was! I will be listening to this one a few times

Chris and I cover his story, how to fix your marketing from the inside out, both figuratively and literally. We talk about companies that saturate the market with their ad spends but don't create memorable products or services and ultimately fail in the long run (and how not to become like them)
Lastly, and most importantly, we cover how powerful combining emotion with rationality is when building a business, and the 8 principles of creating a cult following
I highly recommend this episode - you will love it!
