Our guest, Jim Sheehan, reflects on his experience building PowerObjects, the number one Microsoft Dynamics CRM partner globally. He emphasizes the importance of 'fanatical' focus to scale a company efficiently. This includes honing in on a particular specialty or niche in the market, as well as using some form of operating system like EOS to remain focused on the right priorities.  Jim also shares his current B2C venture, Wydaho Property Management, and how he is applying the lessons he learned from growing a B2B technology consulting firm to expand this business.  Find more at revopschampions.com

Roger Howell Jr. Professor of History David Gordon discusses his interpretation of the African legend “the Lunda love story” as a peace treaty of sorts, along with his research using art and oral tradition and archival sources to explore nineteenth-century political transformations in the central African interior. In the course of the conversation, he talks about the reason African art can be found in Portuguese museums and tells the story of a statue that goes missing in the 1970s right from its display case. Gordon, who teaches history, earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and his PhD at Princeton.
