Today's guest is Tracy Lawrence, Co-Founder & Former CEO at Chewse (acquired) and an all-round complete human being. Tracy founded Chewse, a corporate tech-enabled catering company, at about 19 years of age. Their mission was to bring people and teams closer together through well-curated and sourced foods!
Over the ten years, Tracy shaped the culture around love— for the customer, for each other, and life. But more importantly, Chewse became a symbol for a humane organization, one that recognized the significance of emotions in business and performance, and designed their team practices around it.
Tracy is a unique founder with truthful insights about startup life— before, during, and after! If you want hardcore tactics and strategies, this video interview isn't for you. But if you want to explore how the softer, subtle human needs move and shape startups— you'll enjoy this! :)
“I have my whole life to be a novice, which is actually kind of thrilling if I don't attach my ego to it.”
