Today I'm talking with Chris Cortle, most recently the Chief of Staff at Slack. Chris has

spent the past 12 years working directly with some of the best CEOs during her time at

Yahoo Twitter and Slack. She joined Slack in Twitter when they were small and helped them

scale into public companies. Now she works at Devonee Collaborations, a firm dedicated

to helping rapid growth CEO scale. We're going to talk all about her upbringing in a religious

cult and how that shaped her world, automatic rules for success, lessons of her decision-making

and scaling, why it's hard for founders to scale in particular, the common patterns

to success, and so much more. You'll walk away from this episode with a new perspective

on leadership and practical tools that you can implement today with your team. It's

time to listen and learn.
