Summary
I'm joined by Cameron Herold, aka "The COO Whisperer," to discuss how to be a better CEO and choose the right second-in-command. He's helped build three $100 Million businesses, including 1-800-GOT-JUNK, and is now dedicated to sharing his strategy for success.
Not only do we dive into the takeaways from his latest book, The Second in Command, but we also touch on his current digital nomad journey and how traveling the world has transformed his approach to business leadership. Plus, Cameron shares his perspective on what it takes to be an entrepreneur and how to stay connected with your core purpose through all the ups and downs.
