Podcast Ep 9 | Electric Bikes, Cheating vs innovation, Entrepreneur to CEO

IN THIS EPISODE:

Elec­tric Bikes — Kevin & Brad talk about FLX a com­pa­ny on fund­ing plat­form Indiegogo who are crowd­fund­ing to release an elec­tric bike called the Baby­mak­er with a hid­den battery.

Cheat­ing vs inno­va­tion — Before hid­den bat­ter­ies in elec­tric bikes being for sale, Tour de France rid­ers were caught cheat­ing by hid­ing elec­tric motors and bat­ter­ies inside race bikes a few years ago. The Growth Whis­per­ers dis­cuss how the con­straints of com­pe­ti­tion lead to inge­nu­ity and inno­va­tion, and how that can be adapt­ed to your business.

Lead­ers tran­si­tion­ing from entre­pre­neur to CEO — The adren­a­line of start­ing a new busi­ness can pass after a few years and entre­pre­neurs need to focus on the ​‘bor­ing fun­da­men­tals’ to build suc­cess­ful com­pa­nies. Brad & Kevin talk about when lead­ers should think like an entre­pre­neur, and when they should think like a CEO.
