Growing like a tech company has some to do with the tech, and a lot to do with the culture. In this episode, host Peter Beckman and guest Dave Morrissey (ex TikTok, ex Meta – now author of Grow Like Tech), discuss mindset, culture and the why of brands.

Drawing from +15 years experience in tech and e-commerce/retail – ranging from startups to big tech – Dave found himself with a lot of knowledge on growth strategies from the tech world. Specifically, he saw what any scaling business could do to grow ”the tech way”. He ended up compiling it all together into the founders playbook ”Grow Like Tech”. Besides a published author, Dave’s also a keynote speaker and growth consultant for scaling brands.

Get Dave’s three most important personality pillars for success, and hear why serving the human to scale the business is the way to go.
