Ep. 25 Steven Galanis of Cameo On How To Grab A Lightning Fast Idea and Scale It Into a Business Overnight

When the lightning rod of a powerful and scalable idea strikes
you on your head as you are chilling in a hot tub in paradise
with your super smart business colleagues, you'd better get out
of the tub quick, gather your dollars, your family and friends,
and launch. That's exactly what Steven Galanis, the co-founder of
Cameo did by taking to market, the first ever video autographing
app designed to celebrate and bring joy to fans and connect them
to their favorite celebrities. 


But Steven's story of his transformation from being a company man
to opening his own company will leave you breathless. Through
Steven's stories, you will feel the power and energy and momentum
of Cameo, that will leave you wanting to quit your own job and
join their team (or either inspire you to finally launch your own
idea)! Steven also shares deep insights into signal watching,
networking, and how to give public credit for all of the previous
interactions and learnings he soaked up from not only his
successful creative family, but from the surprising generosity of
his former boss and network at LinkedIn. So step right up and get
your next helping of entrepreneurship lessons from Steven
Galanis.
