Elijah May's Secret to Success? Saying YES! | Elijah May - Unlocking Moves Ep. 25

How did Elijah May go from “I have no idea what I’m doing” to having a wildly successful career and running multiple companies?! Join us for Episode 25 of Unlocking Moves, the show that dives into the pivotal moments in an entrepreneur's journey that unlocked their true potential. Many business leaders only like to talk about their success stories - but host Kurt Wilkin is a firm believer that we learn more from our stumbles and mistakes. This episode of Unlocking Moves dives into Elijah May’s background from growing up in the woods of North Carolina to attending USC – where he created his own major, broke up fights on commercial sets, and became a lifeguard at the U.S. Olympic Pool – and he didn't even know how to swim! Elijah’s life story boils down to two things – HARD work, and saying YES to things others say no to. That mantra has served him well throughout his career and now as an entrepreneur with Funded House, Team CMO, and The Experience Firm. About Elijah May – To Elijah, tackling complex problems is his idea of a good time. Every company or project he’s started is just a solution to a problem he became obsessed with. Team CMO: Because CMOs have the highest turnover in the C-Suite and often don’t feel like they have a seat at the table. Funded House: Because there’s a surprising disconnect between great entrepreneurs and great investors. The Experience Firm: Because all the marketing in the world can’t save you if your customer experience sucks. He connects people that need to be connected, and seeks to make more companies a force for good in the world. About Kurt Wilkin – Kurt is a connector - of dots, ideas, and people. For the past 30 years, he has advised high-growth companies, starting his career with Ernst & Young, and today in his roles as co-founder of HireBetter and managing partner of Bee Cave Capital. He's a serial entrepreneur with multiple successful exits and has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and CEOs build their companies.
