This Serial Entrepreneur is Changing Employee Benefits – Rob Whalen

On today's episode, I'm talking with Rob Whalen about his experience at several technology companies including the company he co-founded, PTO Exchange.

As a serial entrepreneur, Rob discusses when he believes it's time to "switch" to a new opportunity. He also talks about how his degree in accounting gives him an edge as an entrepreneur.

I love hearing stories about how new business ideas come about. When working with inventors, I always want to hear about how the inventors came up with a particular invention.

During our discussion, Rob shares how a meeting at his house generated the idea behind PTO Exchange. Anyone listening to this episode can do the same thing!

Rob also talks about how his current company found its first customers and how they needed to make some changes early on to attract their "real" target customers.

"I look at money as someone's time that they worked to make that money." – Rob Whalen
