Coming Next Week: Season Three

Hey Everybody. It’s Jesse.

So, we’re here at the end of Season Two of Breakthrough Builders, and, if you’re anything like me, you’ve learned some incredibly helpful things about how to go build teams, products, brands, cultures, and experiences. And you might’ve also picked up some great perspective on how to build, and continue to shape, that all-important asset - YOU.

We started the season hearing from Climate CEO Mike Stern about how to build products and transform companies and categories in the agriculture sector. Andrea Robb talked to us about the importance of Belonging and how to cultivate it, and Kellie McElhaney shared some candid and powerful reflections on blending inspiration and agitation to help people grow and change.

Bill Carr taught us how Amazon works backwards to stay agile and innovative, and Kim Scott offered her guidance on how to bring Radical Candor and Justice to the workplace.

Gurdeep Pall of Microsoft regaled us with his stories from the invention of VPN and other core communication technologies, and Charlene Li taught us how to embrace and benefit from disruption. Steve Schwartz, founder of Art of Tea, talked about how to blend innovation with tradition, and Sheila Vashee closed Season Two by sharing wisdom earned at Dropbox and Opendoor on what it takes to drive growth at scale in Software.

Thanks to all of our Guests here on Breakthrough Builders for inspiring us with your stories and sharing your practical wisdom. And thanks to each one of YOU for listening to the show. I appreciate you.

On April 7th, our first show of Season Three will drop. In Season Three, we’ll introduce you to the Founder and CEO of two incredible food and beverage companies. We’ll talk to Chief Marketing Officers, Heads of Product, and Chief Technology Officers from cloud infrastructure, fintech, and software businesses. We’ll host Diversity & Inclusion leaders, influential authors, HR and Talent experts, brave entrepreneurs with animated side hustles, and other amazing, accomplished people who truly are Breakthrough Builders.
