Tech Intersect #12: Dawn Dickson-A Message to Founders: Know Your Purpose, Your People, and Your Power

Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.She is a "light worker", tech mogul, and founder/CEO of PopCom, an automated retail company that uses artificial intelligence, blockchain and other Web 3.0 technologies to help retailers collect and leverage valuable customer insights through smart vending technology. Her ventures include Flat Out of Heels, Lifestyle Cafe, and PopCom, a software as a service company, after identifying a need to make vending machines more intelligent.Dawn reminds us in this episode that only solutions scale.  And also that who you build with is often more important than the solution. Without the right people by your side, many a great solution will die on the vine. And finally, she reminds us to have a “me first” mentality and know your power. This “me first power” isn’t selfish but self FULL. Because empty cups don’t overflow. And empty vessels certainly can’t fill others.This is a really info-rich and high energy conversation that focuses on three areas to empower founders: knowing your purpose, your people, and your POWER. So buckle up! It’s gonna be an amazing ride. Time to listen, learn, and leverage.  **Rate This Podcast** Guest Social Assets:Twitter: TheDawnDicksonYouTube: PopCom ChannelWeb: https://www.dawndickson.me/Medium: https://zora.medium.com/@DawnDicksonI mentioned my "lawyer by day, poet by night" life "back in the day".
