Mike Evans, the founder of Grubhub, author of “Hangry” and founder of Fixer, is one of the most grounded and passionate workers around. He knows how to start from nothing and build success.

Mike took Grubhub public. The company had a multibillion dollar IPO. Even though that might sound “successful” to everyone else, Mike defines success for himself. He says success is all about alignment.

In this week’s episode, Mike challenges the question of “why stay?” and flips it to “why leave?”. He discusses how inertia is a terrible reason to stay in any situation.

Mike and Amy Jo cover many topics ranging from Mike’s emotional leadership style to transitioning from Founder to CEO, to making decisions based off data and the idea of a perfect work life balance being a complete lie.

In particular, Mike and Amy Jo discuss Mike’s evolution as an entrepreneur. You’ll learn his key takeaways from starting Grubhub and how that experience changed his business model for Fixer.

Mike shares many of his tangible business tactics, one of which is the two step apology. This is something every single person can implement in business or life. Another is his focus on mission lock, which he explains is when the benefit and the profit of a business can not be divorced.

There are countless takeaways, but the biggest piece of advice Mike gives is to just start. Think, and dream, bigger from the moment you begin.

Don’t miss this episode with a legendary creative problem solver.

Alli Webb is the Co-Founder of the wildly successful Drybar, a New York Times Bestselling Author and Canopy President. She is also a Co-Founder of Squeeze and Becket + Quill.

 

Alli is the kind of person who skips the small talk and dives right into the deep end. There is nothing off limits for her.

 

In this episode, recorded live at the 2022 Renegade Summit, Alli discusses how she turned her simple business idea into a brick and mortar reality, then a national sensation, during a recession and in a location where all previous businesses had failed.

 

Her journey hasn’t been without struggle, and Alli shares the pain points of scalability, the entrepreneurial hustle, communicating the end of her marriage to her team and learning that it’s ok to ask for help.

 

Alli shares how she fumbled a lot during the rapid growth of her business and the many lessons she’s applied through that experience.

 

You’ll also learn Alli’s approach to being a role model for her kids, the importance of instilling a strong work ethic, why you shouldn’t be fearful of success and why it’s a privilege to do what you love.
