Nathan J. Anderson - Building Successful Startups by Adopting the Player’s Mindset

There are many reasons to start and build a successful startup. But there is one thing you need to do that will set you apart from your competition: adopt the Player’s mindset. Why? Players learn to champion their ideas, push beyond the barrier of comfort and learn from their losses. In this episode of The Founder Spirit podcast, we are joined by Nathan J. Anderson, who is the CEO of Scantrust, an enterprise software scale-up that he founded in early 2014. In his early twenties, the Vermont native joined a Chinese company as the only foreign employee and successfully took it public on the NASDAQ. Not only did he play NCAA basketball all throughout college, he also made a living playing poker for a year after graduating from Middlebury College. What lessons does he have to share on playing team sports, bluffing at the poker table, and running an enterprise software startup? TUNE IN and find out!
