"What is a founder? A founder is one who starts a business. What is a CEO? The Chief Executive Officer maintains, runs, and grows a founded business. Not all CEO's are founders, but every founder is a CEO."

The Head of Engagement and Outreach at American Business Media as well as our good friend and frequent guest Andrew Berman is joining us again for a little chat about the structure of a business. Who is at the top of the organization? As we all know, it is usually the CEO, but what does that actually mean for the business? What are the responsibilities that come with the title and what is the difference between a CEO and a founder? Can they be the same person? Should they be the same person? We've got an awful lot to unpack today, so we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
