Think Like A Founder
Think Like a Founder is a series of conversations with leaders, thinkers, inventors, revolutionaries, problem-solvers, and smart, nice people. Hosted by Maureen Taylor, co-founder of SNP Communications, this podcast dives deeper into a founder’s mindset and mentality -- what makes them tick? The curiosity. The relentlessness. The crazy. The sacrifice. The loneliness. Host, Maureen Taylor (or Mo, as most know her) started SNP Communications with her husband, Renn Vara more than 25 years ago, during the birth of Silicon Valley. Since then, they've been behind the scenes, supporting the world's top companies to grow and mature through the art of authentic communication.Mo looks at what it means to think like a founder. Why? Because, she believes great leaders can change the world.
