🎙️ Inspiring Leadership Podcast: Chris Barton – The Visionary Behind Shazam
How do you turn an "impossible" idea into a global phenomenon? Chris Barton, the founder of Shazam, did just that—creating a groundbreaking music recognition app long before iTunes, the iPhone, or the App Store even existed. Despite skepticism and major technical hurdles, his relentless innovation and creative persistence turned Shazam into a household name, with over 2 billion downloads and a $400 million acquisition by Apple.
But Barton's journey didn’t stop there. From shaping Google’s Android Partnerships to driving growth at Dropbox, he has continually redefined what’s possible. Now, he’s tackling AI-powered drowning detection with his latest startup, Guard.
In this episode of Inspiring Leadership, Chris shares his "Start from Zero" mindset, how he navigated setbacks, and what it takes to push boundaries in tech and entrepreneurship. 🚀
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on resilience, innovation, and leadership. 🎧🔥 #InspiringLeadership #ChrisBarton #Shazam
