08/01/20 • 57 min

In the 2nd episode of Expertease podcast, I speak to Sandeep Nanu - a serial entrepreneur, about his principles of building a successful and sustainable consulting firm.

Sandeep talks about his first job as a Web-Designer and the lessons he learnt there, including the important of respecting commitments, being professional, building trust and respecting others time. We discuss his first company, CBeyond -- his challenges in dealing with large corporations and his motivation to instead find a better way to work sustainably, which led him to start WriteClick eventually in 2010.

This is a really fun episode, which gives an insight into how Sandeep has prioritized living a fulfilling life over running a rat race. I love his principles!

Episode #3 - Empowered Engineering Culture with Nikhil Prasad (Expertease)

In the third episode of Expertease podcast, I speak to Nikhil Prasad, CTO and co-founder of tavisca, about his realization that companies need to provide a higher purpose to employees and how certain simple ideas can lead to building empowering & high-performing organizations.

Nikhil says: "A fresher on your team, who likely doesn't understand how company economics work, is not going to be motivated by a mission to triple your revenue."

This is a really thought provoking episode that explains how Mastery, Autonomy and Purpose can act as foundational pillars on which an organization can create an empowering engineering culture.
