Ricardo Semler (@ricardosemler) is the former CEO of Semco
Partners, a Brazilian company best known perhaps for its radical
form of industrial democracy and corporate re-engineering. During
his leadership, Semco grew from four million in 1982 to two
hundred and twelve million in 2003. His innovative -- but very
controversial -- business management policies have attracted
widespread interest from all over the world. He is the
best-selling author of Maverick: The Success Story Behind the
World's Most Unusual Workplace and The Seven-Day Weekend: A
Better Way to Work in the 21st Century (not to be confused with
another book titled in an admittedly similar fashion). Ricardo
recently started a podcast called LeadWise, where he has
conversations with leaders about "challenging assumptions and
changing how we live and work." Entrepreneurship and education
are just two of the topics discussed in this wide-ranging
conversation. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ricardo
Semler as much as I did! Show notes and links for this episode

brought to you by FreshBooks. FreshBooks is the #1 cloud
bookkeeping software, which is used by a ton of the start-ups I
advise and many of the contractors I work with. It is the easiest
way to send invoices, get paid, track your time, and track your
clients. FreshBooks tells you when your clients have viewed your
invoices, helps you customize your invoices, track your hours,
automatically organize your receipts, have late payment reminders
sent automatically and much more. Right now you can get
a free month of complete and unrestricted use. You do
not need a credit card for the trial. To claim your free month
and see how the brand new Freshbooks can change your business, go
to FreshBooks.com/Tim and enter "Tim" in the "how did you
hear about us" section. This podcast is also brought to you by
Wealthfront. Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good
way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists
from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has
exploded in popularity in the last two years and now has more
than $5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor
friends in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in
Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited
to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them,
and it's all through smarter software instead of retail locations
and bloated sales teams. Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take
their risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and
they'll show you -- for free -- exactly the portfolio they'd put
you in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself,
you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well
worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim.
