What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [10:20] Tapping into untapped potential [18:08] Command and control vs. trust and inspire [20:37] Trust and inspire [25:02] Barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader [35:23] Inspiring confidence in others [38:35] Trust as human motivation [40:17] Microsoft's Satya Nadella as a trust and inspire leader [41:32] Modeling behavior [43:54] Inspiring leadership [45:24] The power of trust [52:01] Building trust through Co-Creation [54:00] The leadership style of Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom [55:02] The power of modeling in leadership [59:46] Stephen M.R. Covey's motivation for trust and leadership Notable Quotes [21:07] "We light the fire within; that fire once lit can burn on for months, if not years, without the need for constant external stimuli." - Stephen M. R. Covey [22:10] "To operate with a command and control style is like trying to play tennis with a golf club; it's not relevant to the game being played."- Stephen M. R. Covey [36:25] “Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly. That they come to see it in themselves.” Billy Samoa] [47:22] "When you trust people, they grow, they develop, and they become their best selves because they develop new capabilities." - Stephen M. R. Covey [51:43] “I believe in our world today, not trusting is more often the greater risk.” Stephen M. R. Covey Resources and Links Stephen M. R.

Ce n'est pas de la science-fiction. Plusieurs entreprises réfléchissent à la création de doubles numériques pour nous remplacer dans les visioconférences, et même au-delà dans de nombreuses tâches professionnelles ou personnelles.Eric Yuan, le fondateur de l'application Zoom, enfourche à son tour le cheval de l'intelligence artificielle générative. Il envisage de proposer bientôt des avatars alimentés par l'IA pour participer aux réunions à la place des utilisateurs. Ces doubles numériques auraient notre expertises car ils liraient nos e-mails et nos dossiers, et ainsi ils pourraient répondre aux questions qu'on leur pose. Selon le patron de Zoom, dans un premier temps, les avatars pourraient commencer par être simplement vocaux, mais l'objectif est de proposer à terme de véritables avatars 3D plus vrais que nature.

Today, I'm talking with Zoom CEO Eric Yuan — and let me tell you, this conversation is nothing like what I expected. It turns out Eric wants Zoom to be much, much more than just a videoconferencing platform. Zoom wants to take on Microsoft and Google and now has a big investment in AI – and Eric's visions for what that AI will do are pretty wild. See, Eric really wants you to stop having to attend Zoom meetings yourself. You'll hear him describe how he thinks one of the big benefits of AI at work will be letting us all create something he calls a “digital twin," essentially a deepfake of yourself that can go attend meetings on your behalf and even make decisions for you. I'll just warn you: I tried to ask a bunch of the usual Decoder questions during this conversation, but once we got to digital twins going to Zoom meetings for people, well, I had a lot of followup questions.

Zoom has a lot of people worried this week over its use of customer data to train artificial intelligence. The company's CEO Eric Yuan said Zoom's March update to its terms of service — which started the backlash — was a mistake. The big picture: Distrust for the companies creating AI technology is growing. 82% of American voters said they don't trust tech executives to regulate AI, according to a recent YouGov poll. We take a look at what all of this means for the next stages of artificial intelligence.

How ironic is it that Zoom, the very company we rely on for virtual meetings, is now requesting its employees to go back to the office? CEO Eric Yuan believes face-to-face collaboration is crucial for the company. In other news, meme stocks, a pandemic trend, are still going strong even after the pandemic.

Zoom Video (ZM) plans to cut 15% of its workforce, which is approximately 1.3K of workers. The CEO, Eric Yuan, is also cutting his salary for the coming year by 98%. The ZM stock price today is up over 7% so far following the news. Next, Renita Young weighs in on Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY) stock price plunging after announcing a new stock offering. Wedbush has stated that there is a low probability that the retailer will be able to raise equity in this last gasp before filing for bankruptcy protection.
"My number one priority is to make sure Zoom employees are happy. I believe if you have happy employees, you're going to have happy customers." Eric Yuan, SEP '06, founded Zoom in 2011 to "deliver happiness and bring people together" in a frictionless video environment. In 2019, Eric led Zoom to one of the highest-performing tech IPOs of the year. But it was the next year that really made his company a global verb. In January 2020, the Zoom app averaged about 56,000 daily downloads on the Apple App Store. Within two months, as the COVID-19 outbreak forced a tectonic shift in the way people communicate, those downloads surpassed two million per day.In this episode of View From the Top, the podcast, Kathleen Schwind MBA '23, sits down to interview Yuan about what how he creates company culture, how he strives for work-life balance, and the few things he can't live without.

Our guest for today's podcast is Eugene Zhang, Founding Partner of TSVC, a venture capital firm he started in 2010 to focus on seed stage investing. An engineer by training, Eugene spent his formative years working for a number of the top tech companies in our time including Sun Microsystems, Cisco and Juniper Networks. After successfully selling his own side hustle tech startup, Eugene took an interest in angel investing, subsequently catapulting his second career as a venture capitalist. TSVC is now on its 5th fund in 12 years. It's first fund is known for having invested in Zoom Video Communications when Eric Yuan raised its first $3mn in capital raise back in 2010. TSVC's cost basis was $0.11 per share. Not bad so say the least! Want to hear Eugene's story about why he invested in Eric Yuan at Zoom back in 2010 when other venture capitalists passed. Well, we got it here for you. Without further ado, here is our conversation with Eugene Zhang.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Dorothea Gotthardt, Investment Manager bei Capnamic. Dorothea hat die Finanzierungsrunde von Workvivo und Celus kommentiert: Workvivo, eine irische App für Mitarbeitererfahrungen, hat in einer Serie-B-Runde 22 Millionen US-Dollar vom bestehenden Investor Tiger Global erhalten. Das neue Kapital soll dazu verwendet werden, das Angebot des Unternehmens weiterzuentwickeln und eine Reihe neuer Funktionen einzuführen, die darauf abzielen, die Mitarbeiter von Hybridunternehmen zu beschäftigen, zu informieren und wertzuschätzen. Bislang hat das Unternehmen rund 38 Millionen US-Dollar von Tiger Global, Frontline Ventures, Enterprise Ireland und Zoom-Gründer Eric Yuan erhalten. Außerdem konnte das Münchner DeepTech Celus, das KI zur Optimierung der Leiterplattenentwicklung einsetzt, in seiner Serie-A-Runde 25 Millionen Euro einsammeln. Celus, das 2018 von Tobias Pohl, Alexander Pohl und André Alcalde gegründet wurde, setzt auf eine cloud-basierte Software, die Elektronikentwickler mit umfangreichen Komponentendaten von Elektronikherstellern unterstützt und den gesamten Design-Prozess durch Automatisierung beschleunigt. Die Runde wird angeführt von Earlybird Venture Capital mit Beteiligung von Deutsche Invest Capital Partners und den bestehenden Investoren Speedinvest und Plug and Play. Mit dem frischen Kapital will das junge Unternehmen unter anderem die Expansion in die USA weiter voranbringen.
Sure, Roger Martin used to run a business school. But that doesn't stop him from questioning the way we train captains of industry. In fact, he argues, many business leaders don't realize that we're not just locked in a struggle between capital and labor. Now, managing talent may be the most important part of your job as a leader. From Julia Roberts to football player Aaron Rodgers to Zoom's founder Eric Yuan, the power of talent has surged. And retaining the best engineers, lab managers, and data scientists could make or break your business. Plus, Martin talks about the hidden (but huge) costs of turnover, and why we stopped paying attention to Aristotle (big mistake).

Sean: Hey, Dave. Just want to say you're a modern-day hero to a lot of people. Dave: I'm not a hero. I'm just someone that's trying to give back in a really small way. And it's really one of the prongs of my efforts around helping the community, particularly the Asian-American community. I would say, you know, we can talk more about it, but there are really three things I'm really focused on. One is helping Asians get more economic power. And unfortunately, not all of us will be Jerry Yang or Eric Yuan of Zoom. Most of us will work in companies, and most of us will need to figure out how to rise the corporate ladder. And so this book is really my gift to people trying to better themselves economically by rising the corporate ladder. Dave: The second major area of focus for me is really around policy and politics, but from a new standpoint. So I'm the vice-chairman of one of the leading Asian-American news sites in the U.S. called Asia AM News, ASAMNew.com. And we're a volunteer network. We're nonprofit, but we want to keep reporting stories that are important to the Asian community. And if you have been tracking, for instance, #StopAsianHate before, some of the more tragic events with Michelle Go and Christina Euna Lee, before those events, the mainstream news had actually stopped really reporting on Asian hate crimes. And I think there was a general perception among non-Asians that the Asian hate crimes have subsided. And in fact, that's not true at all. In fact, they've actually gotten worse. And we were one of the few news outlets that continue to report on it. So it just illustrates to me that we need a source of news for our community that will continue to report on the news that's important to us when all the other mass news outlets have gone away. So that's kind of the second major focus of mine. Dave: And then the third is entertainment. So I'm a big believer that we need to get more Asian faces and more Asian voices in the media. Otherwise, particularly in America, we will continue to be viewed as the other, will continue to be viewed as a foreigner. And so I've been working with media production companies that are primarily founded by Asian-Americans. I've helped finance them. I've helped advise them as well as I just started a new company called Reel 8 - Reel8.com where we've effectively built an NFT marketplace for Asian filmmakers to help Asian filmmakers further monetize their films. So that just kind of gives you a more holistic sense of the things that I'm focused on. And you can get a sense of the commonality is that I'm trying to help the Asian community, and that's a big focus of mine, not the least of which is because I have two boys and I want to make the world a little bit better for them when they become adults and grow older. Sean: For sure. For sure. And by the way, thank you so much for doing the work for me. I have two boys as well and I'll just ask them to read your book when they grow up. But I'll get a copy for sure. I want to read it. I'm very interested in it. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack

Thank you for tuning into another episode of Sabine's Common Sense and for helping me to stay on purpose! So at this point, we've all become pretty familiar with Zoom right lol? But did you know the founder of Zoom, Eric Yuan, didn't get approved for his US Visa until his NINTH try? Can you imagine if he had given up? Without his persistence and motivation to achieve his goals, he may not have the success that he has today. Not feeling inspired yet? Trust me, you will after watching this episode! I had the pleasure of interviewing four time best selling author, motivational speaker, real estate connoisseur, and publisher, Jermain Miller! Jermain has a similar story of faith and persistence, and had he decided to just go with the motions or succumb to being a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR of life's struggles, he would not be as successful as he is today. His grandma as his motivation, he became the first person in his family to go to college, but ended up dropping out after his grandma passed away from lung cancer. He lost his inspiration and before he knew it - he was 25, waking up on the floor with only 93 cents in his pocket and going through a divorce. After realizing he was only living to exist, he knew it was time for a change. He then decided to get into real estate, and although he needed to borrow money from a friend in order to begin his career as a realtor, he quickly became successful and sold over 300 MILLION in real estate transactions. After devoting 10 years to the industry, he realized that being a realtor was just the stepping stone to the path that he was meant to be on, and decided to start his own real estate company in 2015, a consulting company in 2018, and a publishing company early this year. From writing a book in just THREE DAYS to manifesting being Les Brown's spiritual son to being able to manifest the life you want to live and then prepare for it- this is one story that will change your life! If this episode doesn't get you inspired, then something ain't right lol! Don't forget to rate and subscribe! Want to connect with Jermain?

The heyday of Main Street is over. The spotlight now shines on Digital Street. Curt Sigfstead has been long drawn to the power of entrepreneurs and the opportunity they present to transform the world. After leading the prominent West Coast technology investing division at JP Morgan, Curt joined Clearco. Clearco is at the forefront of digital growth, where they are busy building out the capital infrastructure for the internet in the realm of embedded finance. Working with digital founders, software platforms, and financial institutions, Clearco is helping to revolutionize how founders raise capital.Show Links Follow Clearco on LinkedIn or Twitter Connect with Curt Sigfstead on LinkedIn or Twitter Connect with Andrew Seski on LinkedIn Key Takeaways1:44 - Providing capital based on dataDigitally-founded businesses often don't have the traditional assets required to raise capital. By providing capital based on more diverse factors, Clearco is serving a new, data-driven market.“It means that we can, in a very innovative way, provide capital, provide advice, provide benchmarking, provide a means by which entrepreneurs can improve their business with capital by using data. That's an important core of our business; our ability to leverage third-party data sources to create a modern finance platform that can serve these digital founders. As you were getting to Andrew, [Clearco is] serving what is a global transition from Main Street to Digital Street. And as more and more businesses are founded, at least initially, online--as businesses become less and less geographically constrained--they don't have the aspects that typical financing institutions like banks or credit unions are looking for. They don't have collateral. They don't have inventory. They don't have the assets. But they do have a lot of data. And their data is very revealing with respect to how the business is performing, what the opportunity is for that business. So, what we found is this vast, global underserved market.”3:32 - Helping entrepreneurs retain ownershipAs a rule of thumb, entrepreneurs don't want to give up equity. Clearco gets that, helping businesses get off the ground by focusing on repeatable processes.“So we're part of a spectrum. We're not in the business of competing with venture capital or with seed investors or with friends and family. We're in the business of being a complementary pool of capital for entrepreneurs to leverage as they grow their businesses. And in any business, there are aspects that are repeatable. So, you have an understanding of how the business is actually going to perform based on data, historical data, and how you might project that--like your return on ad spend, or how much inventory you need relative to your sales growth. There are other aspects of your business that are not repeatable. It's innovation that you may have underway. It's actually kicking off a very early-stage business."4:19 - Creating repeatable actions to grow your businessClearco understands what entrepreneurs need--helping them control their destiny through repeatable aspects of the business.“Where Clearco comes in is in those aspects of the business that are repeatable. Our perspective--and what we found product market fit with--is the fact that entrepreneurs don't want to give up equity in their company, and therefore ownership, for aspects of their business that are effectively repeatable. It's, ‘okay, I know if I put a dollar here, I will get $3 in revenue. Why should I give up equity for that?'...As businesses grow, ownership is important for entrepreneurs. It's part of the economic puzzle. And so if we can help them control their destiny, if we can help them access lower-cost capital effectively, and maintain ownership, then we think we're doing our job.”7:06 - The three benchmarks of successCurt says that success comes down to three things: a bulletproof process, strong performance, and a solid market backdrop.“For me, there are really three aspects to a successful process and this is obviously something I learned over many years helping companies to access the market. Which is: 1) you have to have a bulletproof process. You've got to start with a large funnel. You've got to work that funnel and you're eventually going to have a number of investors who come out the bottom of who are committed to funding the company at terms that are acceptable to the board and to the founders of the company. 2) You've got to have performance. Investors really want to understand, at least at the Series C level, how $1 of investment turns into $5-10 of return. It has to be a very repeatable process, i.e., in the Series C you're not introducing new operational risks, you're introducing scaling risk. There's product market fit. Your business works. It's got a huge TAM and really, it's about scaling the company...3) You've got to have a solid market backdrop. None of this happens in isolation. Investors are influenced every day by what happens in the capital markets and what's going on with their investments, as well as how other businesses in their portfolios are growing.”9:39 - A conservative-aggressive approachIt might sound like an oxymoron, but Curt says that the best forecast is optimistic while also building out realistic benchmarks based on market share.“My job was to ensure that our forecast was bulletproof. It was highly conservative, yet aggressive. What do I mean by that? Our job is to express the business in the most optimistic way that we can as a company. That's why we're here. We've got a big opportunity, but at the same time, building in aspects to the forecast that are not leaps of faith. I.e., for us, the size of our marketplace: If there are 10 to 12 trillion of GMV globally, which is cited in a bunch of market forecasts, then trillions of dollars, tens of trillions of dollars - us saying that we can get to 20, 40 billion, 100 billion of GMV, well, that's pretty conservative. We don't have to get a lot of market share. Those are the types of aspects to set the context of your forecast conservatively relative to a lot of external metrics. I think these are important aspects to getting investors to buy into your forecast. [The second factor] is based on your existing business, and so we were very, very focused on that. [The third factor is] you want to make sure that as you go through the funding process, you're meeting and beating your numbers.”11:41 - How to analyze and present dataUse the data you have to prepare. Then, keep investors in an honest feedback loop where you consistently provide contextual updates.“If you fail to prepare, you're preparing to fail. It's kind of like that old adage. We spent a lot of time on that. Then, the second piece of it is obviously thinking about the second and third-order diligence that's going to support that. For us, it's beating up the metrics. It's analyzing the data. It's focusing on, ‘okay, so what are the cohorts doing? How do we present that data in a way that reflects our business?' Not all of it is obviously the best news. You have to be prepared to present the business in a way that is consistent, and it gives investors real insight into how you operate the business. But, you have to do a lot of thinking about how best to present that data because investors don't have any context when they come in. Your job as a modern CFO and as a modern finance team is a much bigger understanding of strategy, so you set the context by which the numbers are being presented because out of context, I think they can be misinterpreted.”16:18 - The magnetic power of foundersCurt was lucky to oversee countless IPOs while at JP Morgan. His favorite part? Working with the founders themselves.“Through my career at JP Morgan, what really got me excited, and I realized this in my last couple of years, was working with founders. In particular, working with CEO/founders who had built their businesses from the ground up, had made the transitions through the various levels of financing and growth. We got to work with them going public and I was fortunate to work with Jeff Lawson at Twilio, and the team with Eric Yuan at Zoom. Obviously relevant names, and a full host of other names, which brings me to Andrew and Michelle [co-founders of Clearco]. As I reflect on it, I had done 100 IPOs and 250 billion of tech M&A and I was looking for that, ‘okay, if I really want to narrow it down, what I really want to do?' I want to work with founders in incredibly constructive ways because I have a very strong personal belief that entrepreneurs and founders are the people changing this world for the better.”23:22 - Building CFO/CEO trustAs a strategic partner, modern CFOs must lead company alignment. Having a united front is critical to success, but it doesn't happen without asking the hard questions.“The most important piece you have to figure out is trust. It sounds a bit cliche, but you've got to find the opportunity over those conversations - and we did - to ask each other hard questions about how...I asked, ‘well how are you guys doing?' or, ‘why didn't you do it this way or do that way?' You're getting a sense of how you're going to operate because if you're coming on as a strategic partner effectively, which I do think is really the role of the modern CFO, you're going to have to have a common operating system effectively because you're going to have to answer questions where all three of you are not in the room, but they're going to have to be based on a consistent framework. You're going to have to defend your decision-making post decision with your partners, just in the way you would if it was a law firm or financial firm. You better have a framework by which everyone can understand how you got there.”24:40 - The best investments often appear a little crazyIt's hard to break with tradition. That's why so many people in the finance world told Clearco founders Andrew and Michelle they were downright crazy, but Curt learned that thinking differently can have its advantages.“When Andrew and Michelle were forming the company, they probably had 100+ meetings with various finance individuals who said they were, ‘absolutely crazy' or, ‘this will never work.' or, ‘how in the world could you do this? This is the way it's been done for a hundred years.' Of course, there are aspects of that I had, as sort of bias or sort of frameworks that I had growing up working at JP Morgan. I've had to learn to just understand it, let it play out, add constructive aspects to it and then just course-correct where we can, let things ride out because there could be something really interesting around the corner on some of those decisions we make that, you know, wouldn't be obvious in the same frameworks that some of the more traditional financing companies work in.”25:40 - Put away your egoThe successful modern CFO is ego-free. The key is embracing a service mindset where the company wins and your wins are the same.“You have to put the ego in the bottom drawer. You're an at-service leader. So, you're here to help people win. You're not here to push your career in a certain direction, or to look good because it doesn't fit with the mission of - and I would say this is probably for any modern CFO is - you're serving the board, you're serving the audit committee, you're serving the founders, you're serving all the employees, you're serving investors. You've got to be in that mindset so that when you get criticism, you get feedback, or otherwise, you have to just take it in. It's all for the better of the company. Push forward.”29:44 - The untapped global potentialCurt says that with the right resources and support, there are hundreds of underrepresented individuals in the world who have the power to change it for the better.“One thing that is underestimated globally is the power of the committed entrepreneur. The power of someone, an individual who is committed to change, who is committed to development, who's committed to their idea and what they're able to accomplish if they have the right resources to do that. I think that is underestimated globally. We have billions of people on this planet who in some way don't have the resources available that other billions do. We're not tapping into the greatest resource we have in this world, which is our human colleagues and capital, and other inhabitants on the planet. I think that is something that we often underestimate. It all seems very normal when we look back, but when you look back over history, it's really people who make a difference. Our responsibility, if we want the best out of this world and the best out of, from business to science to education, we need to empower these people and give them the resources.”
CRACKING THE HAPPINESS CODEWhy happiness and fulfillment are the metrics that truly matter, and how we can harness the balance between success and achievement to reach them.INSPIRING QUOTE:“An assessment of your superpowers will deliver a life of greater clarity and conviction, because you're now going to have a deeper understanding of knowing who you are at your core, what allows you to play to your strengths, what talents and gifts you can begin or continue to build on, and what passions you can fully express and bring to the world.” — Paul EpsteinSHOW SUMMARY:The foundational principles of how to be a leader are born in our earliest experiences, even if we don't recognize it at the time. Questions such as whether to be liked or respected, whether to choose passion or security— these are all tied to who we are at our core. In this episode of Playmakers, we'll discover how each of us can measure our own superpowers and our own definition of success.GUEST BIO:Greg Holmes is the former head of sales for Zoom Video, one of the most astonishing success stories in tech. But Greg began his career as a schoolteacher, and the lessons he learned there (as well as those he learned when jumping headfirst into uncharted territory) helped him transform Zoom into the videoconferencing powerhouse it is today.Follow Greg Holmes on LinkedInOPENING MONOLOGUE SUMMARY:Like this episode's guest, Greg Holmes, Paul Epstein once faced a massive fork in the road. They both chose to go all-in on respect in the beginning, only to find that people only respected their titles, ranks, roles, and authority— not as a person or leader. When they eventually went all-in on likability and relationships, they were able to absolutely transform their lives and careers for the better, not only in the short-term but with sustainable results. Guiding it all? An intrinsically motivated environment of purpose.CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[3:42]The Risks of Respect-First ThinkingYou might find respect, but you'll miss out on a lot of other thingsWhen you go all-in on respect, you'll get short-term authority. But you'll miss out on long-term relationships that will transform your life and career.[14:55]Calling an AudibleAlways be ready to change the game planBe ready for the moment, but it's not always going to be the way you charted it out. That's when it's time to call an audible, a football term that means changing the play based on what you see laid out on the field right before you make your move. Always be ready to adjust.[19:39]Service: The Sixth SenseDevelop a sense for when others are in needFind opportunities to lift and help others and you'll never have a day without meaning or purpose. Develop a ‘sixth sense' of when the people around you are going through things, seeking ways to help them. Everyone needs a hand to help them through the crazy challenges of life.[26:29]Pay It Forward (or Backward)Seek random acts of kindness and discover how your life changesPay the toll for the person behind you. They'll never know you did it, and no one else will either, but that's not the point. These small acts of meaning are the things that bring life purpose.[35:02]Deliver Happiness, Receive SuccessThe companies and people that stay committed to delivering happiness are the ones that rise to the topInterviewing potential employees or partners about their skills, experience, and other factors is important— but the most important question is this: Are they committed to delivering happiness to your customers or audience? Deliver happiness, and your customers will reward you with their committed loyalty for life.[48:12]Stepping Away from the GrindPerspective is a powerful resource that few people take advantage of in their careersGreg Holmes decided to step away from his massively successful career for a period, and what he found was a powerful perspective on what mattered most to him. His family, his passions, the opportunity to help others. Those are the things he's pursuing today. Taking some time to figure out where you stand relative to your vision for your life is a powerful thing.[56:15] Day by DayWake up today, smile, then try to do it again tomorrowThe world is a mess. Facing it with a smile isn't a matter of who or where you are, it's a habit that you have to develop like any other. The first time you wake up and force a smile will be difficult, the second will be less difficult, and the 100th time will be second nature.[59:53] Find Your SuperpowersTake the time to recognize your talents, opportunities, and environmental advantagesStop focusing on the weakness holding you back. Focus on the superpowers that you have that are unique to you. These aren't just internal— some of them relate to the external factors that can supercharge your momentum. Take the time to sit down, think creatively about your ‘superpowers,' and then let them guide your path.SHOW RESOURCES:[1:11] Zoom[13:36] WebEx[7:03] Greg Holmes Profile[38:55] Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh [Book][59:04] The Power of Playing Offense by Paul Epstein [Book][59:08] Superpower Assessment downloadMAKE A PLAY:Assess your superpowers— your strengths, your talents, your relationships, your environment— and watch as you gain greater clarity and conviction.

After growing and leading the team that developed WebEx, Eric Yuan left his role as Corporate Vice President of Engineering at Cisco in 2011 to found Zoom Video Communications. Santiago Subotovsky, a general partner at Emergence Capital, led his firm's investment in Zoom. In this conversation with Stanford lecturer Ravi Belani, they discuss what drove Zoom and how they built the confidence to launch this new company into an already crowded video conferencing market.
Tu abuela usa Zoom, tu escuela usa Zoom, tu gimnasio usa Zoom, tus amigas usan Zoom. Lo que no sabías es que la app de videoconferencias que estalló en popularidad en la crisis del coronavirus probablemente no existiría sin el apoyo temprano de un inversionista argentino. Santi Subotovsky, socio de Emergence Capital en Silicon Valley, fue el primero en apoyar al entonces desconocido y ahora famoso CEO de Zoom, el inmigrante chino Eric Yuan. Y lo ayudó a crear una empresa que hoy cotiza en Bolsa y vale más de 35 mil millones de dólares. Hoy, Santi nos cuenta la historia de Zoom y por qué cree que la próxima Zoom va a venir de un emprendedor hispanohablante.

Last week, Zoom, a video-conferencing program, was prime bait for hackers who infiltrated conversations taking place among people working from home during the coronavirus pandemic. As if Zoom bombers weren't bad enough, a day or two later, the internet-based program crashed because it could not handle the surge of users from businesses, schools and friends and families eager for face time. Today, Zoom founder and CEO Eric Yuan is promising stronger security measures, but the fiasco is a stark reminder of how easy it is for bad actors to access public internet programs, especially those being operated by people unfamiliar with cyber security protocols. In this episode, a continuation of Lodging Leaders special report on how the coronavirus crisis is impacting the hotel industry, we explore how the outbreak is revealing weaknesses in business technology platforms and what hotel owners and operators can do to head problems off at the pass. We also look at how some technology providers are expanding their solutions to meet the fast-changing needs of hotel operations as well as those of essential guests traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today's episode originally aired in July 2018. The guest is Eric Yuan, the founder and CEO of Zoom. Known for its easy-to-use and reliable video conferencing product, Zoom became a listed company in April 2019 and soon became one of the largest public SaaS companies in the world. The recent outbreak of the coronavirus has made remote working part of many people's new realities. It also puts remote working tools like Zoom under a stress test with the surging needs, which Zoom did incredibly well. It always works. GGV has been a happy customer of Zoom for a really long time and we hope this conversation can give you a hint on how it became successful in the first place. Zoom is used by a third of Fortune 500 companies and 90% of the top 200 universities in the US. Eric was recently named the Top CEO on Glassdoor, with an approval rating of 99%, and was the first person of color to win the award. Eric grew up and went to college in China, arrived in Silicon Valley in 1997 and joined WebEx when it was still a small company. In 2007 WebEx was acquired by Cisco and Eric became Cisco's Corporate VP of engineering in charge of collaboration software. Eric spent 14 years in total at WebEx and grew its engineering team from 10 to 800, and increased its revenue from zero to over $800 million. Eric holds 11 patents, plus 20 pending patents in the pipeline. In this episode, Eric shared his story of being rejected a US visa for 8 times while in China, getting its first paid customer, balancing the needs of SMB and enterprise, and what makes Zoom different from its competitors.
