The Almost Dropouts

What has been interesting about moving from Amazon to leading a Product Team at a startup?    What are some challenges now moving into a senior leadership position?    What approach do you take when developing products?    These are some of the questions I asked Shreyas Sali in this episode of the Almost Dropouts Podcast. Shreyas is Head of Product at Spocket, a startup focused on connecting online entrepreneurs with dropshipping suppliers. Prior to Spocket, Shreyas has worked as a Product Manager at Amazon and Elastic Path Software.   You can check the podcast using the links below!   Listen on:   Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thealmostdropouts Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2y8pUgQRog4rjhWfRtrtCA?si=Ywi7T7L0TYGau1qdrBd-wg&nd=1 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-almost-dropouts/id1484701794 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9mM2UwMDgwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Youtube: https://youtu.be/pEO8Vg3Bz3g

Shoe Designer, Serial Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist,   National Figure Skater   It would be remarkable to talk to someone doing any one of these things, let alone someone who has done all of them. But that is exactly what I had the privilege of doing this week on The Almost Dropouts podcast when I was able to speak with Collin Thompson.   Collin has one of the most unique stories I have ever heard and it is one I believe is really valuable to hear. It is filled with perseverance, hard work, and being able to be intrepid in new ventures. We had a great conversation about training in LA with Olympic figure skaters, moving to Hong Kong, being a renowned shoe designer, talking to Vitalik about Crypto, creating a blockchain venture studio, and creating a company to support work from home.    Check out Intrepid:   Website: https://intrepidventures.typeform.com Guest: Collin Thompson   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collinthompson/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/icollinthompson Listen on:  Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thealmostdropouts Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2y8pUgQRog4rjhWfRtrtCA?si=Ywi7T7L0TYGau1qdrBd-wg&nd=1 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-almost-dropouts/id1484701794 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9mM2UwMDgwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Youtube: https://youtu.be/DRuFo2w5Eww   Hosted by: Daivik Goel   Link to my socials: https://linktr.ee/DaivikGoel
