In today’s episode, Brandon interviews Ted Guggenheim, Co-founder and CEO of Staffing Engine, a Recruiting Acceleration AI Platform.

Ted went from the music industry – touring with Sting in the 80s – to working with startups, building a company from 3 to 50 people and $10 Million in ARR.

He talks about the similarities between managing a band and building a company, persisting long enough for that album to hit, or surviving long enough for that product to fit.
