Joe has built several large business units within larger companies like Upper Deck, PWC and eBay.And he's founded and sold multiple companies to corporate behemoths like AOL and Apple. Joe attributes much of his success to his unwavering perseverance, which was driven home when his college baseball career was painfully cut short. Joe and I also talk about the Herculean efforts needed to get any new business off the ground and then properly positioned to sell when these same businesses are often days from bankruptcy before finding sustainable success.Finally, we'll learn about Joe's latest venture ExecThread, which is a peer to peer job sharing network. Joe has built ExecThread to close to 1 million of the highest quality business leaders from all walks of life who uncover and share some of the most sought after private job listings for top executives across the globe.

That was a big learning moment (...) learning to deal with rejection in a way where like you don't want to dismiss it, you definitely want to feel it, you don't want it to ruin your momentum and your day.” “If you don't have a way to look at data, look at success, what's working what's not working, I feel like there's a lot of people that are reliant on other people's feedback and their boss of whoever to improve themselves (...) proper planning and thinking it through and entering your data for you, how can you get better if you don't know.” “I am a big stickler for good company culture but then also building a great sales culture (...) I want people to have fun and be really passionate about what they're selling (...) and just being happy because that will emulate with the people you talk to and your clients.” “ I think many times when things happen in our carrier maybe you feel derailed, certainly for me, my first two and a half years were in sports and I told my boss to f*** off and I got fired and I thought my life was over, and then I got into tech and it like changed my life forever (...) we all have these kinds of paths and we don't have to get it perfect, we don't have the ability to kind of recognize the learnings that we have until much later.” “What can I do better as a leader? What are actually the things that I can affect (...) and that is being a better leader, making my sales managers stronger leaders, you know, where are they lacking, what training do they need. I'm constantly thinking of that.” “ I want you to take an hour tomorrow, I want you to look at your calendar for the next month and I want you to think about challenges you're having and the things in your business or your personal life that you need to prioritize (...) because if not, you're just going to be on the (hamster) wheel. The wheel is not going to stop and tell you to get off.” ______________________________ Get in contact with Ang: LinkedinFacebookTwitterInstagram ______________________________ Mentions: Gilt Groupe- an off-price e-commerce portfolio company.Instagram | Facebook | Linkedin | Pinterest Tumbler- an American microblogging and social networking website founded in 2007.Facebook | Instagram Knotel- a workspace platform that matches, tailors, and manages real estate for businesses that are in need of spaces custom designed for their use. Linkedin | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Stack Overflow - is a question-and-answer website for professional and enthusiast programmers.Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin | Instagram ___________________ Follow Jake: WebsiteInstagramLinkedInTwitter

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I've crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed safely in NYC for my annual #BKSummer. My guest this week takes me back to my first NYC summer. The summer when I decided that New York would one day be home for me. A summer spent test driving the life of Wall Street bankers in the SEO (Sponsor for Educational Opportunity) (https://www.seo-usa.org/) Career program internship. While Wall Street was no fit for me, it helped form the foundation of my guest's professional career. Chinedu Echeruo, currently based in New York, born and raised in Nigeria, is a serial entrepreneur and firmly believes that individuals, empowered by imagination and information, can solve virtually any problem. He founded the pioneering travel app HopStop (Apple acquired HopStop) that helped millions of users navigate public transportation in major metropolitan areas around the world. Chinedu has been featured in media including Bloomberg, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CNBC and more. Chinedu was also a core member of the investment team at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund. Prior to completing his M.B.A., he spent several years in the Mergers and Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, financing and private equity transactions. Chinedu holds an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School and B.S. in Finance and Accounting (Honors) from Syracuse University. In his latest series of new ventures he currently goes by the title Dreamer at the Start-up School of Alchemy and the Love & Magic (https://loveandmagic.company/) company.

Echeruo's new venture is called Love and Magic, a startup studio that helps companies of all sizes maximize their ability to innovate. For anyone that has an idea they have been hoping to turn into a startup, Echeruo and his collaborators just introduced the Startup School of Alchemy. It's being taught at WeWork and Princeton University. It offers a six-week curriculum designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs find product-market fit.Apply with the code "stackoverflow" and you get $1000 off the course, a 40% discount.Echeruo says his time working in finance and with Microsoft Excel was what gave him the ability to think of how data from maps could be optimized by an algorithm and built into a useful mobile app. For those who don't know, our co-founder and Chairmam, Joel Spolsky, was part of the team at Microsoft that built Excel. Here is legendary 2015 talk, You Suck at Excel, where he organizes a spreadsheet to keep track of what he pays his Pokemon, ahem,I mean, uh, employees. You can take a deeper dive into the backstory of how Chinedu built HopStop below, related in his own words.I've always had difficulty with directions. When I grew up in Nigeria, I remember getting lost in my own house. It wasn’t like it was a mansion, it was a four-bedroom house. So you can imagine how I felt when I got to NYC and had to get around with the subway and bus system! I remember walking up once to one of those blown up maps in the subway station. My nose was a feet away from the dust laden map. The subway lines looked like tangled noodles. Complexity galore! New Yorkers used to walk around with these pocket guides—Hagstrom maps. I was going on a date in the Lower East Side. It doesn’t have the grid like the rest of the city. I got lost and was very late getting to the bar.I can't remember how, the date went but I remember what I did first thing next morning. I walked over to the subway station, grabbed a subway MAP and laid it on the floor and tried to figure it out. There’s driving directions. But there weren’t subway directions. So I was solving my own problems. I was looking for the complete directions—leave your house, turn left, go into this particular entrance, get on this train, get off at this station, use this exit. Because I was, in a lot of ways, the ultimate user, we ended up building a product that solved the complete problem—get me from where I am now to where I need to be. I was non-technical, I worked for a hedge fund. I may have been thinking algorithmically, I knew that this was computationally possible. But I didn’t know how to make it a reality. In conceiving the problem, I threw all the data into spreadsheets. I interned at this company when I was in college, where I learned about spreadsheets. I found the work very tedious, but I learned how to think about data, to think in tables. It allowed me to conceptualize complexity. To conceptualize the first subway data as a spreadsheet, I started by staring at the subway map laid on the wood floor of my apartment. The most obvious features were colors, lines, and stops. So those are the tables I typed into Excel first. Then I realized the lines also represented two train directions so I redid the spreadsheet. Then I realized the stops served multiple subway lines, so I redid the spreadsheet. Then I realized some of the stops would only be active during certain periods, so I redid the spreadsheet. We kept on learning and adjusting. It took us a long time before we had a data model that robustly described NYC's subway system. We even figured out how to automatically account for the frequent weekend NYC subway diversions.To build the first version of the app, I went to eLance, described to these computer scientists the data set in Excel, routes, stops, exits, entrances, and I sent it in. This developer in Siberia, Russia, emailed me, came up with a solution. But he turned out to be a complete genius, he built the core of the first version of Hopstop. Here I was, a Nigerian, sitting in my apartment using messenger, email, on a laptop. And I never met Alex for four years. We built Hopstop over four years without ever meeting each other.We ran very lean. Alex did all the coding. I did the subway data and user experience. I'd have to ride to different subway stations to note each subway entrance and exit, etc. When we added the bus system, Rajeev and his data team in India helped input the bus stops and schedules. And four years later, we were purchased by Apple, so quite the ride.

Joe has been a successful start-up CEO and operating executive at high-growth tech companies including HopStop (acquired by Apple), Quigo (acquired by AOL) and eBay. He’s been named Entrepreneur of the Year by Crain's New York Business. And investors have taken notice. He’s raised $6.5 million in capital from Canaan Partners, Javelin Venture Partners, NextView Ventures, and Corazon Capital. In this 20-minute conversation, Joe explains how it works & why. If you’re looking for a senior-level role, or senior-level talent, pull on this thread & listen.

The first time I met Chinedu was in a coffee shop in New York City. We sat down and discussed ideas, but it wasn't a typical idea chat. Chinedu ran me through his process and it was fascinating to hear how detailed he was, he truly understood the customer for each product he was running me through. Chinedu is a master at bringing an idea to life, just look at what he was able to do with HopStop. In this interview, Chinedu takes us behind the scenes on how he was able to think of HopStop and how it eventually was acquired by Apple. We don't stay on the surface, we dig deep. Chinedu reveals how he wasn't a coder so he gives us tips on how to find a developer early on like he did. We get the pros and cons of outsourcing, and how to budget for your app. We learn: - How and why to get a technical advisor vs a technical cofounder - How to balance your side hustle with your main job - How much an idea is worth - How to stay motivated when things are looking down - Why keeping an inspirational group of friends is key to your success - What he does every morning to get his day started productively - Knowing when to fire yourself - Should you build companies just to sell them? This was just part 1 of our live podcast recording with Chinedu. Stay tuned for part 2, where we discuss incubating your ideas.

Citing “increased competition” and “unfavourable market conditions” Altron is puling the plug on the Altech Node console and will discontinue its video-on-demand offering come the end of October 2015. The news comes in the wake of Naspers’ recent launch of the Netflix-clone, ShowMax, which the tech giant is clearly not sparing any expense in promoting. (By the way, you may as well take advantage of ShowMax’s free seven-day trial offer to check out what all the fuss is about.) The Node’s spectacular failure to appeal to consumers has led Tefo Mohapi and Andile Masuku to ponder the question, “What is the best way to build new tech products for Africa?” Perhaps there are lessons that big tech and startups on the continent would do well to learn from Altron’s costly misfire regarding how to effectively build and roll-out relevant and commercially successful products and services. Also in this week’s African Tech Round-up, all the week’s most important digital, tech and innovation news: -- Visa has choses to test ground-breaking biometrics technology, for use at ATM’s, in South Africa, -- Apple is preparing to shut down the transit app, Hopstop— which it bought from its Nigerian founder, Chinedu Echeruo for $1 billion in 2013, -- WeChat and Nigerian online tech publication, Tech Cabal are set to host conferences in Nigeria, aimed at empowering developers to make use of WeChat’s API, and -- Mobile phone manufacturer, Mi-Fone, accuses its Chinese rival, Xiaomi, of intentionally using similar sounding names for mobile devices they have recently launched in Africa.
