064 | We Should Stay In Touch

Feb 15, 2021

MR Rangaswami is a legend in his own lifetime.

Best known for founding The Sandhill Group in 1997, which was one of the earliest angel investment firms in Silicon Valley - he actually launched his Silicon Valley career in 1982 working with Tech luminaries such as Larry Ellison, Tom Siebel and Marc Benioff at Oracle before moving on to become CMO of Bahn.

I will put links into the show notes so that you can read more about MR and even contact him if you are that entrepreneur ready for the big break. As you will hear, that is what makes MR special. He meets with people. Supports people. Helps people.

More recently M.R. founded the SHG Foundation, a million-dollar nonprofit funding a variety of social entrepreneurship organizations around the world, including Agastya, Black Girls Code, and Room to Read and not satisfied with his own foundation, he is also a board member of the Kaliash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, The Nudge Foundation, and the WISH Foundation.

We were delighted when MR made some time on his calendar to catch up with his long time friend and occasional host of this podcast … Stuart Robbins.

People First - All Else Follows

You might be a leader in a large corporation, fresh into the workforce or with 30 years under your belt. Or maybe you are a small business owner or entrepreneur. Whichever it is … you are good at what you do. You feel safe, but keep wondering how long you have before what you do is automated, outsourced, off-shored, replaced or just made obsolete. It will happen. Nothing stands still! Your options are to stay the course, leave for another opportunity or do your own thing. All of them require transformation.

I worked in Silicon Valley for over 30 years. You only succeed in that environment by continual transformation. Through conversation and interviews, I will share lessons, stories and case studies that will help you understand how real people at work and play balance priorities every day to make a living and provide the best life possible for themselves and those around them all there while with an eye on the future.

At the very least I am going to make you think.
