Hometown Radio 08/09/2024 3p: Pet and Pie of The Week , then Cartoonist Lee Rubin

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to build a business that can survive crises and emerge stronger every time. My guest is Lee Rubin, founder and CEO of Confetti.  Lee is a visionary culture leader with over a decade of experience in B2B sales. In 2014 she founded Wekudo - a remote corporate event planning agency. The idea behind it came while working at ZocDoc, where she struggled with the bureaucracy and logistics of planning team-building events.  Soon after that, she founded Confetti, realizing that the problem could only be solved through a combination of technology and people (not just people).  Under Lee's leadership, Confetti achieved exponential 600% growth during the COVID-19 pandemic and grew it as the leading solution for virtual team-building through a relentless focus on quality experiences. Their mission: to simplify event planning while empowering organizations to build stronger, happier, and more holistic teams through unforgettable shared experiences that make work life more memorable. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Lee to my podcast. We explore her journey to build a successful B2B SaaS company in a period when most of her competitors ceased to exist. Lee shares her story about a remarkable pivot during Covid, and why she decided to do nothing when "back to work" kicked in again. She also shares how she wasted 3 valuable years at the start, and what she could have done differently to avoid that. Last but not least, she elaborates on what ingredients she doubles down on to build a product people just keep talking about. Here's one of her quotes The main contributor to our success is that we built a platform that had a very strong form of agility. The platform can support various different use cases if we really want it to. It allowed us to pivot super quickly [during Covid]. The last invoice that we got from an in-person event and the first invoice that we got for a virtual was 10 days. We didn't spend time sitting in sadness that our events business was in shambles. We got right back to the drawing board, back to playing and having fun and trying to see what sticks - and the virtual events stuck. During this interview, you will learn four things: What she has done differently to survive during & post-COVID when other competitors closed their doors. How she managed to pivot her entire business in less than 10 days when Covid started.  What she learned from niching down, where everyone else was widening the net - and how that played to their advantage.  How she's embedded delivering "wow factor" in every aspect of her company - and why this has become unnegotiable for her.  For more information about the guest from this week: Lee Rubin Website: Confetti Subscribe to the Daily SaaS Reflection Get my free, 1 min daily reflection on shaping a B2B SaaS business no one can ignore.

With a passionate team of 70 and a recent strategic acquisition, Lee's story is not just about her early ambitions but also her resilience in overcoming skepticism and the quest to find the right co-founder.In this conversion, Lee recounts recent hurdles and shares invaluable wisdom for budding entrepreneurs and established leaders alike. Key takeaways:Build Relationships that Weather Storms: The key lies in building relationships, especially with someone like a co-founder. You need someone who understands you, communicates well, and supports you. This type of partnership helps you bounce back from early setbacks and drives long-term success. Choosing your business companions wisely is vital because they're as important to your journey as the destination itself.Balancing Work and Personal Life: Maintaining harmony between these two is essential. As a leader, you should create an environment where your team can achieve this balance, too. When work doesn't completely overshadow personal lives, everyone is more resilient and motivated. Empower Teams to Own Their Success: Empowering your team to own their success can transform your role from a doer to a leader. Trust your team with real responsibilities and let them lead initiatives. Seeing them succeed independently makes your business more efficient and recharges your energy to face new challenges. Time stamps: 00:00 Meet Lee Rubin02:03 When did you know you were one of the crazy ones?02:53 Lee's journey to entrepreneurship04:25 From agency owner to entrepreneur07:24 Characteristics of finding a co-founder12:45 Pivoting business strategy amid pandemic18:26 Finding balance 22:45 Separating work from worth26:43 Grateful for support and growth through imperfection29:12 Striving for transparency and navigating tension34:15 Helping the business reach the next stage34:53 Supporting team success, revenue focus, hands-on support38:15 Desire for change and philanthropic impact

This week I delivered a keynote and I had a question from a manager who was struggling with an employee who was disrupting the team with negativity and hate.I believe it always comes back to empathy, in this case, the manager having empathy for that employee. Whether we're talking about conversations about politics or race, or whatever, inclusion always comes back to empathy. After all, I only know my lived experience, and it's been full of privilege.My mom used to say, “You can't understand someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes” – and I think that message is still accurate.What I believe is that each of us was born a pure kind soul, and then life happened. Maybe we felt left out from our older siblings or cousins. Maybe someone at school called us a name, and that was the first time we knew we were different. Maybe there was addiction in the family. Maybe grandma was the parental figure because the actual parent was in prison due to mass incarceration. Any of the above. And worse. We're all walking around with our baggage, our Traumas big and little. It's been said that hurt people hurt people. Just trying to protect ourselves.It can be incredibly hard to be empathetic, especially if we find ourselves in fight or flight mode. That's where mindfulness comes in. Breathe, breathe, breathe. I'm working on this myself. Always a work in progress.From that empathetic space, we can become more curious about what's going on, and then lead with compassion. That's how people change behavior.Here are the good vibes I found this week:How the MCA Chicago Transformed Its Collection at Unprecedented Speed to Better Reflect Its AudienceReviving Sales at Kay and Zales: How Signet CEO Gina Drosos Pulled America's Biggest Jeweler Out of a Long SlumpVancity Employees Will Receive $10K in Mental Health Coverage Starting July 1, 2023Publicis Groupe's CEO Has Launched an Initiative to Remove the Stigma of Working with CancerL'oréal Made A Handheld, Motorized Device That Helps People With Disabilities Apply Lipstick.

One big thing that we have learned over the past year is that employers no longer have control over the people they hire. The balance of power has shifted with the majority of people willing to walk away from an opportunity that does not align with their personal beliefs or values.  Many companies are left scratching their heads as to why. So, the thinking has evolved into “it must be the money” so let's increase compensation & benefits. Hoping this will solve the problem. But it hasn't. The interviewees today are the one's making the selection, not the company.  The interviewees are the ones evaluating the company for more than just the paycheck.  And the interviewees are the people who have a lot of options, not the companies. So to get people to choose your company to join you simply need to level the playing field by understanding “what's in it for them”. Guest Bio: Lee Rubin is the Founder and CEO of Confetti. A platform that helps companies build stronger culture by providing shared experiences for a distributed workplace.  Their holistic tool empowers HR and other team leads to quickly discover, plan and book from a catalog of exclusive experiences that optimize corporate culture and employee's professional growth.  Lee is a visionary culture leader with a decade of experience in B2B sales. She's one of the world's experts on remote event planning and has built her company from 0 to 60 employees in just 3 years!

Here's the recap...In this episode, I chatted with my good friend, Lee Rubin, the CEO & Co-founder of Confetti. Remote work is now the standard of work (finally!) As teams will stop looking back, looking forward will need to focus on how to build deeper relationships remotely. IRL opportunities will be crucial for this. But what can teams do in between to ensure their teams are fostering trust and bonds when no longer working together. Team fun, games, and similar are a great way for a team to connect while not working. We shared ideas and tips about what types of events your team can start running today. Including taking offline/siloed events and build interaction and connecting online. For a full transcript click here. For more information about the show click here.

As athletes navigate life and attempt to figure out next steps its important to pay attention to the things people constantly compliment you on.
