#131 - Building in public: Transparency, confidence, and ownership | CEO Sam Corcos & Mike DiDonato

At a startup, or any company for that matter, you have the choice to keep the business strategy and culture private… or you can build in public. Building in public inspires an environment of transparency and confidence for investors, employee recruitment, and customers.

Levels’ Head of Success Mike DiDonato met with CEO Sam Corcos to discuss the benefits of Levels’ policy of building in public:

It helps internal and external people feel good about the company through a strong culture of trust and documentation.
You can recruit and retain employees and investors who feel more comfortable because they can see behind the curtain.
It limits gossip fatigue and removes elements of surprise through top-down openness and transparency.

Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan. Levels Members gain access to the Levels app and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), providing real-time feedback on how diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health.

Look for new shows every month on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations with thought leaders about metabolic health.
