Innovation, Surviving recession, and Good leadership

Sway Them in Color Logo and Templates for episodes (8).jpg

What do you do when life hands you a big ol’ stanky basket of lemons? You make the most delicious remixed lemonade (with probably a splash of whiskey).

In this episode of Sway them my Color my guest and I dive into her journey of building a career during the 2008 economic crisis, and how she went from odd jobs to tech giants and is now in the innovation space. We discuss:

  • bouncing back after a rescission

  • why balancing stability and flexibility when going through periods of growth and change is key to survival 

  • why ego driven leadership is bad for innovation and what actually works  

Brittney Dimes is a thirteen year Austin veteran by way of Houston. During this time she’s owned and operated a national pageant system, worked for tech giants like Google, Favor and Bumble, all the while building a mobile bar catering business in the background, Party Pulse, which is growing every day. And is now the acting Director of Operations for Thinktiv, a value-driven innovation firm that partners with Private Equity leaders, VC-funded companies, and Early-Stage founders to create what's next.
