Podcasts about Intrapreneurship

Some of the biggest product breakthroughs didn't come from startups — they came from intrapreneurs. In this episode, we speak with Scott Jones, a career intrapreneur who has launched new lines of business at Lenovo, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Realeyes, a computer vision AI company serving some of the world's most influential platforms. Scott shares a detailed, experience-backed look at what it takes to make innovation work inside companies that weren't built for speed. He breaks down the mindset, team dynamics, and cultural rituals that allow new bets to thrive — and provides practical guidance for founders, executives, and investors looking to bring this approach into their own organizations.

What if your business could grow without more risk or more work?In this episode of BusinessIsGood, I unpack the powerful concept of intrapreneurialism—where staff build businesses inside your business.

Plus, I'll give tips for structuring revenue-sharing and avoiding common pitfalls like overpaying, underexplaining, or doing too much of the work yourself.If you're a founder who wants to scale impact and reward great people—without adding overhead or stress—this episode will show you how.

From Blue Collar Roots to Boardroom Success: Intrapreneurship, Culture, and Growth with Ken Rusk In this powerful episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ken Rusk, author of Blue Collar Cash, to explore how alignment, action, and authentic leadership can transform both lives and businesses. Ken shares his incredible journey—from a blue-collar background to building a thriving franchise organization—grounded in the philosophy of intrapreneurship and a deep commitment to his employees' futures. We discuss why businesses excel when individual and organizational goals are aligned, creating what I call a synergistic momentum that fuels performance and retention. I also reflect on my time leading teams in the Asset Management division for Fortune 500 clients. We implemented a unique collaborative debriefing strategy that brought together cross-project teams, fostering camaraderie and making team members more agile and interchangeable. This approach not only increased efficiency but also drew the attention of global leadership for its impact on client growth without the need for added consultants. Ken and I dive into the critical role of employee development and cultural growth. He underscores the importance of helping employees visualize their goals and stay motivated within an organization that values and nurtures their ambitions. I expand on how culture isn't just an internal function—it's something customers feel. A thriving culture strengthens an organization's resilience and ability to navigate disruption. Ken's bestselling book Blue Collar Cash—inspired by letters he wrote to his daughter during a health crisis—has unexpectedly become a blueprint for corporate teams aiming to build stronger, more connected workforces. It's now used in team-building and leadership development programs across the country. We wrap up with a focus on entrepreneurial growth through action. Ken and I align on this simple truth: growth doesn't come from theory—it comes from action. Whether you're reading a book, taking a course, or listening to this podcast, the key is to implement, not just absorb. Ken also invites listeners to visit kenrusk.com to learn more about his book, online course, and consulting services designed to empower individuals and teams. Book:  Blue Collar Cash

I thrived in math under him, took advanced placement calculus and other courses, which helped me in my later life and career much more than it did in college. My appetite for mathematics and the idea that you didn't have to rigidly stick to the textbooks, that math was much more than memorizing multiplication tables or cosigns, but that you could research and investigate the many other facets and the broader applications of math--what it was really about and how it permeates all dimensions of our world--was a powerful and positive influence on my life and career from that point forward.”

BONUS: Building Agile Startups with Nick Hughes of Founders Live   Welcome, Agile friends! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nick Hughes, the founder of Founders Live, a global startup community now operating in more than 100 cities and 50 countries. Our conversation explored what it really takes to build a business and how the principles of agility can help entrepreneurs adapt, iterate, and thrive.   If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your message, build resilience in the face of setbacks, and foster meaningful connections in the startup world, this episode is for you!   The Birth of Founders Live “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   Nick's story began over 10 years ago when he noticed something missing in the entrepreneurial world—a supportive community where early-stage founders could connect, learn, and grow together. As a founder himself, he knew firsthand how isolating the startup journey could be.   He decided to experiment with an idea, and it worked. Founders Live has since become a thriving global movement where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas, connect with like-minded people, and celebrate innovation in an engaging, fun atmosphere.   Each Founders Live event follows a simple but powerful format: five founders deliver 99-second pitches, followed by four minutes of audience Q&A. Then, the crowd votes on the winner. Add some networking, food, and drinks, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable experience!   The takeaway here? Test small, see what works, and refine from there.   The Power of a 99-Second Pitch “It's not easy to create your 99-second pitch. But that time frame forces founders to really think: What is my message?”   Nick's 99-second pitch format is more than a clever gimmick—it's a forcing function for founders to get crystal clear about their message. In a short window of time, founders must distill their big idea into something precise, engaging, and impactful.   Many founders tell Nick that while it's nerve-wracking at first, they walk away feeling more confident and impressed with their own ability to communicate under pressure. It's not just about pitching—it's about building communication agility and clarity of purpose.   Why Networking and Mentorship Matter “If you figure out ways to help people and open doors for them, it comes back to you tenfold.”   One of the most valuable aspects of Founders Live is its emphasis on connection. Nick shared that many of the most successful founders he knows have built networks by being generous—by “opening doors” for others. Whether it's offering advice, making introductions, or helping someone troubleshoot a challenge, those who give tend to receive tenfold in return.   His advice for founders? Show up, participate, and look for ways to add value to your community. Authenticity and generosity go a long way in building strong relationships that will support your growth.   Embracing Agility and Resilience “Agility is looking at things as experiments—identify what works, keep that, and stop what isn't working.”   We also dove into the mindset that helps founders bounce back from setbacks. For Nick, agility means viewing everything as an experiment. When things don't go as planned, the question isn't “Why did this happen to me?” but rather “What can I learn from this, and how can I adjust?”   Successful founders are constantly iterating—testing, learning, and evolving. The entrepreneurial journey isn't a straight line; it's a cycle of experimentation and improvement. Agility doesn't just happen in the product—it starts with how you frame your challenges and your willingness to pivot when needed.   Common Misconceptions About Entrepreneurship “We all want creators in the world, but it's a tough road. You need to build something that adds value before pitching it.”   According to Nick, many first-time founders enter the startup world with unrealistic expectations. Building a business isn't just about pitching your idea to investors—it's about creating something valuable, getting traction, and proving adoption first. If you don't have traction or proof points, you're burning bridges by pitching too early.   His advice? Focus on solving real problems and showing early growth before you seek funding. When you walk into the room with evidence that people love your product, your pitch becomes much stronger—and much harder to ignore.   Intrapreneurship: Innovating Inside Larger Companies   Not every entrepreneur is working outside the corporate world—some are internal innovators looking to make a difference within their organizations. For those intrapreneurs, Nick had some great advice: define your opportunity clearly, understand your company's risk tolerance, and align your goals with measurable outcomes.   If you want to pitch new ideas inside a company, start by identifying what success would look like and communicating that vision effectively. Intrapreneurship thrives when there's clarity around expectations and potential rewards.   Nick's Resource Recommendation   When I asked Nick for a resource recommendation, he shared the book “The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life” by David Brooks. It's an inspiring read about finding purpose and meaning by building something bigger than yourself—a fitting message for entrepreneurs seeking to create meaningful impact.   We closed with Nick's final piece of advice: “Test, learn, iterate, and grow. That's how I built Founders Live.”   This simple but powerful mantra reminds us that agility isn't just a process—it's a mindset. Whether you're launching your own startup or driving innovation within a larger organization, success comes from being open to experimentation and continuous improvement.

What if your team could future-proof your business by building internal innovation? Let's explore how intrapreneurship can transform multifamily operations. Mike Brewer discusses a powerful concept today: intrapreneurship, the art of building a business within a business. Unlike entrepreneurs who venture into the unknown, intrapreneurs use their organization's resources to innovate, creating workflows, systems, and even entirely new services that benefit the company and beyond. In multifamily, imagine creating a boutique branding agency within your property management firm, selling services internally and externally. Combine that creativity with today's AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Nectar Flow. These platforms empower leasing consultants, property managers, and maintenance teams to build agentic workflows that optimize routine tasks and elevate performance. The punchline? Upskill and reskill your workforce today. Embrace these tools and let your team explore their entrepreneurial spirit. Whether they stay or move on, you'll help shape a workforce prepared for the digital future—one where every process is optimized and every mind contributes. The genie is out of the bottle, and the time to harness this opportunity is now. If this sparked ideas for your team, hit like and subscribe.

In this episode of the Higher Ed Pulse Podcast, Mallory chats with Andy Shearouse, Assistant Director of the EDGE Center at Augustana College, during the 2024 HighEdWeb conference. Andy dives into the concept of "intrapreneurship" and how individuals within institutions can foster innovation and drive meaningful change from the inside. Through personal experiences and insightful examples, Andy explains how anyone can become a difference-maker on campus by adopting an entrepreneurial mindset and identifying opportunities for improvement.Key TakeawaysIntrapreneurship encourages staff to channel entrepreneurial energy internally, driving change within an organization.The best innovations often come from those closest to daily processes, like student services or campus operations.Developing an "entrepreneurial mindset" involves problem-first thinking, self-confidence, and a willingness to seek small, impactful wins.Higher education institutions can benefit significantly from empowering staff to identify inefficiencies and implement creative solutions.What is Intrapreneurship, and Why Does It Matter in Higher Education?Intrapreneurship is the practice of fostering entrepreneurial innovation within an existing organization. Andy Shearouse highlights the importance of encouraging faculty and staff to think like entrepreneurs, focusing on improving internal processes and services. This mindset differs from traditional entrepreneurship by emphasizing change from within, allowing institutions to become more adaptable and student-centered. For example, Andy discusses how colleges that quickly addressed the growing demand for mental health services were able to stay ahead of student needs and become more supportive environments.How Can Intrapreneurship Solve Campus-Wide Problems?Andy shared several real-world examples of intrapreneurship at work. One standout case involved transforming the course add/drop process at Augustana College from a cumbersome paper-based system to an efficient online solution. The initiative was driven by the Career Development Office, which recognized the inefficiencies students and staff faced. This change significantly improved the student experience, highlighting how even small departments can spearhead major improvements that benefit the entire campus community.What Traits Make a Successful Intrapreneur?The entrepreneurial mindset is key to becoming an intrapreneur. Andy outlines six traits of successful entrepreneurs, with the top two being: saying "yes, I can" when presented with a challenge and focusing on solving problems, not just pushing products. Intrapreneurs are proactive, identifying gaps and inefficiencies in their organizations and working creatively to address them. They don't need to overhaul entire systems overnight but instead look for small wins that snowball into broader, lasting changes. This problem-solving mindset is what empowers intrapreneurs to reshape their institutions incrementally.If you're intrigued by the idea of sparking change at your institution, you won't want to miss the full episode.
