09: Leading a Billion Dollar Company (SurveyMonkey) to Success - Entrepreneurship 101 with Dave Goldberg

Obstacles, opportunities, and the ability to operate amid them: that's the business of business. Dave Goldberg knows. He does it every day. After post-college stints in management consulting and the music industry, Goldberg wanted to lead. He had one problem — his young age. But he turned that obstacle into an opportunity. “I needed to try running something, and no one, at [my] age of 26, was going to let me run anything,” he says. “So I decided to start my own company.” That company, LAUNCH Media, was such a success that Goldberg ultimately sold it to Yahoo. He went on to become the CEO of a small company called SurveyMonkey, which has grown in size and profit under his leadership. With more than 20 million users, the company is reportedly worth more than $1 billion. In his personal life, Goldberg has two kids and is married to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. In this interview you will learn: - Leadership 101 - A key secret that Dave applies to his life that has held him in very good stead - How to build a great team - Why the SurveyMonkey business model is so successful - What it takes for a startup to succeed - & Much more!
