Jimmy Allen: What does it take to lead...well, and to live in a world that won't sit still? It takes a lot of grit, takes a lot of guts, and it takes a lot of agility. But we've also found that great leaders are endlessly curious and they discover inspiration and occasionally answers in unexpected places. So how do they maintain focus and energy? How do they scale an organization when the entire world is trying to distract them? 

I'm your host Jimmy Allen, and I've had over 35 years experience at Bain & Company collecting stories from some of the world's most successful companies. And this is Founder's Mentality: The CEO sessions. It's a leadership podcast where you'll hear from great CEOs and founders from amazing companies like Walmart, like Audible, like Pizza Hut, like Mercado Libre…

Aaron Powell: I made it a point as of about a decade ago, when I see a legacy issue, I'm gonna attack it even if it doesn't help me, it's just right.

Tanuja Randery: It does not matter whether you are two months in or 10 years here. It doesn't matter what your title is. Have backbone, disagree, and commit.

Jimmy Allen: We'll also be talking to incredible artists, comedians, and musicians, because sometimes the greatest answers come from surprising voices. So whether you're a CEO, a rising executive, or just interested in the topic of leadership, we hope this podcast will challenge and occasionally inspire you.
