Summary

Saeju Jeong is the CEO & Co-founder of Noom. Starting with failing to become a doctor into a heart-wrenching story about his father’s early death that then propelled him into a move to New York where he stole lunches at Google and later stole engineers to join his incredibly successful weight loss app, Saeju is here to talk emotion and details. Not leaving out his partner, Artem, Saeju attributes the success of the company to the success of their friendship. Sprinkle in some details about owning a metal record label, having therapist-lead Co-founder meetings, and giving away the wealth of his first business to his mother to show his care and resolve, I can honestly say this episode is incredibly charming and you’re going to want to hear these stories. Need help with interpersonal communication, especially in a business setting? Want to know the perspective of a weight loss company that focuses most of its attention on behavior and mental health? Give this one a listen.
