S01E03: Fake it ‘til You Make It
The guest for this episode is KAMAL HASAN, Founder and CEO of animation company Prolific Studio and digital transformation firm Kamsoft Technologies.
A serial entrepreneur and thought leader based in Palo Alto, California (AKA ‘Silicon Valley’), Kamal took his animation company from startup to one that now employs almost 200 people.
However, his journey has not always been a smooth one. At the beginning, Kamal took the advice of ‘Fake it ‘til you make it’ more seriously than he should have. The result was a pitch that soon got out of control…and you can learn more about that if you listen!
Together, we discuss why a small bit of fakery can be acceptable. But if you follow the mantra too closely, you could get burned.
