S2 E76 - Jeff Hoffman - Chairman of the Board, Global Entrepreneurship Network
Show Notes

I had the privilege of speaking with Jeff Hoffman this week on the C-Change show. Among his innumerable accomplishments, he is the chairman of the global entrepreneurship network as well as a founding board member of the  unreasonable group whose portfolio companies have raised over $11 billion in funding he’s been featured as a business expert on every major network and business publication and was honored with the Champion of Entrepreneurship award from JP Morgan chase, Citibank and rising Tide capital. Perhaps his most incredible achievement, was the successful sale of a company he founded, but it wasn’t the money, it was the fact that not a single person voluntarily left the company during his tenure as the CEO. This man understands how to acquire and retain Rockstars. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the deep insights of this extraordinary human being who had the courage to reject the  ‘nice guys finish last' culture and pioneer a culture of care without any role models.
