Episode Description

Welcome to the Scale with Strive Podcast, the place where you come to listen to some of the world's most influential leaders of the SaaS industry. 🚀

I am your host, Adam Richardson and on today’s podcast, I’m really pleased to introduce President and Advisor, Chris Finan.

Unlike most, Chris actually started his career as a Pilot and Intelligence Officer in the US Air Force! He has now spent over 10 years in the Cyber Security Industry, with two acquisitions under his belt - and he has also been involved in companies such as Shape Security and ActZero.

Today we focused our conversation around Chris’ philosophies on building a data driven sales process with some of my key takeaways being:

💡 How his career in the Air Force set him up for a successful SaaS career.

💡 The cultural transformation required to move to a data driven sales approach.

💡 How to adapt your approach in times of economic uncertainty.

Let’s Dive In!

Mobile Headquarters: A BattleTech Podcast mhqpodcast A BattleTech Podcast covering both Classic and Alpha Strike.We are a Florida Based group of BattleTech players that have decided to start our own BattleTech Podcast. Although we four are from all over the Tampa Bay Area, we are planning to include players from all over the state in our Podcast. From as far south as Miami, to all of Tampa Bay, the Orlando Area and even the Space Coast.For this reason we have decided to call ourselves the Mobile Headquarters Podcast. Our Topics will be based on what we think might be of interest to other BattleTech Players. With topics ranging from the original Crunchy Classic BattleTech game, to the Alpha Strike large scale games, as well as many of the Tournament Styles of game play including Wolfnet Radio’s 350 Format. As well as narrative campaign play.Your Host’s are: Ron Baker - Bradley Proffitt - Randall Snyder - Jose Suarez The Gen X Factor - by Just Jeff... and the Dazzlingly Uncool Rocky Seale Brothers Jeff and Rocky discuss growing up in the 70's and 80's! They consider themselves "dazzlingly uncool." Make no mistake about it, they were both cool back in the day. But, nobody thinks middle-aged men are "cool." That's a young man's game. So, they strive to be the most "dazzling" versions of "uncool" that they can possibly be! In other words, the dad jokes will fly. They hope to provide some nostalgia for those who lived the Gen X upbringing with them, and also to provide some entertaining stories and advice (possibly questionable) to the generations that have come after them!
