131. Launching an Investor-Backed Call Center for Cannabis, with Donald Spann

Author: Neel Parekh January 17, 2024 Duration: 27:56

In this episode Neel sits down with the one and only Donald Spann.

Donald has been a guest on the pod before (listen here if you'd like to check it out)

Neel and Donald discuss:

- his initial success selling Cutco knives (and Neel pondered some kind of index of people who sold Cutco and success in life)

- his journey through servicing different needs for cleaning companies which started from building websites to then answering phones

- how Donald realized early on that money wasn't the actual motivator, but control of his time and life, and why he wanted a business which required endless consistent delivery rather than a business that had the need to endlessly innovate
