Disruptive CEO Nation

Disruptive CEO Nation

We speak with innovative company founders and thought leaders who are driving significant change in the way business gets done.

These conversations provide insight into the challenges and secrets of building engaging and profitable brands. Topics routinely cover social good (B Corps), product development, supply chain disruption, intellectual property, technology (IoT, AI, machine learning, NLU, RPM), manufacturing, corporate culture, distributed teams, finances (bootstrapping, capital, seed rounds, investors), marketing, and leadership tips that can benefit anyone in business today.

To date our guests represent over 70 countries and we are proud to say they have appeared in leading publications, show up on top entrepreneur lists, have been recognized by Forbes, received innovation awards, authored books, and daily seek to make the world a better place through their products and services.
