Episode 96: Using Open Source to Merge Data With Brian Leonard

Tech leaders are life-long learners, and as such, they have their fair share of experience accrued through good, but also many bad experiences. In the crazy world of tech, burning out is not uncommon, but more often than not, it can be a lesson – which once learned, can help you become a real driving force, a leader. One such leader is Brian Leonard, CEO at Grouparoo, who sat down with us to share his journey in the tech world, what he does now, and spill some advice on leadership and teams that will definitely be worth its weight in gold. Key takeaways: • Why creating teams is like creating a functioning marriage between strategy, vision, and direction • The reverse ETL – how collecting data and using it to create concepts can help growth • How focus on I/we/it is important, and while the ‘it’ seems the more important, the I and we actually define it Our Guest: Brian Leonard LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianl429/ Website: https://www.grouparoo.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bleonard Intro and background music: Craig MacArthur - Power Shutoff (www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74iB_jtauw)
