A couple of months ago, I stepped back in as the CEO of AppSumo, a company I started 11 years ago.

It’s been 5 years since I was CEO, and the company has 50xed in size. 

We’ve got close to 100 people working with us, and we’re making close to $100M this year.

I’ve been learning A LOT about leadership after coming back, and I want to share some of these lessons I’ve been learning with you guys.

In this episode, I share some of the common qualities and traits I see in the people that generally go on to become successful.
