Heather Hartnett of Human Ventures has made it her mission to invest in other exceptional founders. She not only believes the best and most successful companies grow out of pain points but that creativity thrives with constraints–“If you're not out of your comfort zone you're not growing." She gives John and Cynthia the low down on cognitive diversity and how partnering with external innovation shops can help larger organizations adopt some entrepreneurial DNA.

Hosts John Palumbo and Cynthia Stuckey talk to Dave Balter managing partner at Flipside Crypto about his management approach.

And are committed to their mission… These are just some of the things that give Davids (those small, emerging businesses and start-ups) an edge over larger companies.

So we created “Goliath, Meet David” – a podcast series that features leading figures from the start-up world sharing their personal stories and perspectives. Tune in and discover what makes small businesses more than the sum of their parts, and learn the approaches and strategies they use, which can be applied to your own business to become leaner, faster, and more entrepreneurial.
