33 Ben Prouty, Serial Entrepreneur: Know When It's Your Time To Lead

In this episode I interview serial start-up entrepreneur and CEO Ben Prouty, whose experience at high-growth startups including Streetcar (car sharing), Lovespace (storage by the box), Shepper (asset inspection) and now Poncho (family support platform for working parents) taught him the stage of a company's lifecycle that energises him and brings out his best as a leader. Ben brings a refreshing honesty to counter the assumption that entrepreneurs all want to be the next Zuckerberg or Musk - in fact he is at his best in the scrappy, early stages of start-up growth. This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone who's been there and worn the t-shirt time after time, on each occasion creating strong, scaled businesses that disrupt their sectors using a fresh strategic approach and the power of technology.Ben Prouty on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-prouty/Poncho: https://poncho.care/Shepper: https://shepper.com/Lovespace: https://lovespace.co.uk/The story of Streetcar: https://techcrunch.com/2010/04/21/zipcar-streetcar/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — master interviewer, executive coach and author.
