S18E5: Embracing Conflict for Growth and Scale with Investor & Author Gabe Karp

Imagine this: Your company accidentally prints the "C" word onto thousands of diaper packages for the largest diaper brand in the world.

What do you do?

Several years ago, as General Counsel of ePrize, Gabe Karp found himself in this exact situation.

It taught him a valuable lesson on how to approach conflict.

But not only that, as a former litigator, advisor, and active VC, Gabe has seen conflict from every angle.

His new book, "Don't Get Mad At Penguins", unpacks what he's learned over the years on how to embrace healthy conflict, and rid your company of toxic conflict.

I had the honor of being Gabe's coworker at ePrize, and saw firsthand how good he was at dealing with difficult situations.

He steps to the mic this week to give us an inside look at why we shouldn't be getting mad at penguins.

I also get him to tell the story of the time he worked literally elbow-to-elbow with Vince McMahon for 3 weeks and appeared on global television for WWE Monday Night Raw (which you know I love).
