Actionable Values: Building an Empowering Culture

07/25/23 • 30 min

At Flinn, we strongly believe in empowering smart people, to act like entrepreneurs rather than employees. To scale such an approach, you need a strong foundation of values and principles.
In this episode, we are how we are building a culture driven by values and principles from day one on. We will address questions like:

What is the difference between values and principles?
How did we come up with our values, and how do we involve the team to develop them further?
How do we make them actionable in the day-to-day work?

We invite you to take a look at our values, principles, & guidelines page to get some additional inspiration.

From 1st Release to Changing an Industry: Navigating the Balancing Act of MVP vs. Vision

This episode is about balancing the long-term vision of a company vs. the go-to-market focus (the first version of your product). Often overlooked, this balance is crucial for founders. Some emphasize their visionary goals, yet stumble in generating short-term traction. Others hyper-focus on early steps, losing sight of the broader picture. We will elaborate in this podcast on:

Why this balance is critical and why it matters a lot.
How do we, at Flinn Comply, try to balance this trade-off when we pitch/sell our company (to investors, customers, potential employees) and when we develop our product.

Join us for a candid conversation that sheds light on a challenge all founders face. Together, let's learn to thread the needle between visionary aspirations and tangible progress.
