MooseTalk: Recent Episodes
Matthew Moosavian
In episode 3 the focus of the conversation is around leadership, how each of us have been shaped by different both strong and weak leaders we have encountered, and reframing the meaning of "success."
JD and Matt discuss the popularity of over-sensationalizing the entrepreneurial journey and how while the intentions may be good, the stories could be discouraging to someone on the fence about fully committing to starting their own business. Jason McCarthy, Special Forces veteran and current Founder and CEO of GoRuck joins the podcast to discusses his story, what leadership means to him, surrounding yourself with people who are better than you, and challenges he has faced and currently faces as the founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar business.
