Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the C.O. Alliance and brought to

its founder Cameron Herald.

In the second-in-command podcast, we talked to top COOs who share the insights, strategies,

and tactics that made them the chief behind the chief.

And now here's your host, Cameron Harold.

Our guest today is Joe Abraham, operating partner for Beyond Academics.

Joe is a serial entrepreneur, award-winning business advisor,

and author of the critically acclaimed book,

entrepreneurial DNA.

He's been adopted into several undergraduate and graduate study programs.

His research into entrepreneurial behavior that led to the writing of the book also led to the development

to the Bosey behavioral assessment that has been deployed globally with over 150,000 participants.

At Beyond Academics, Joe serves as operating partner and also oversees the BA Incubator,

Innovation Consulting, and Entrepreneurial Mindset Education

Initiatives. Joe is also finishing up research on B.A's culture of

innovation assessment that helps organizations measure their internal

capacity to innovate and transform.

In addition to his role at BA, he oversees a portfolio of family-owned companies in

sports, real estate, and wellness technology. He's been featured twice on the TEDx stage as well as on Fox News, CNN, Network TV, and the Wall Street Journal as a subject matter expert in revenue generation,

organizational transformation, and entrepreneurship. So Joe, welcome to the Second Command podcast.

Thanks, great to be here.

Yeah, this is great.
