What I got out of this interview with Bill Rader, CEO of Efferent Labs:
1. Do What You Love
Bill’s first business was ultra successful because he was passionate about it. His second business was a huge failure because he didn’t understand it. Do what you love and are passionate about.
2. Work With the Best
Efferent Labs was born when Bill partnered with a specialist that he resonated with, and who had expertise that Bill would never develop personally. Don’t try to be everything and do everything yourself. Partner with, or hire, experts who understand your mission and have the same vision you do.
