What does it mean to be an effective business leader?
How do you take a vision, grow a business, and relentlessly drive it to completion?
Today’s guest is here to answer all this and more.
As a third-generation entrepreneur, solving problems and adding value to people’s lives runs in Derrick Butler’s blood.
Then, on one fateful weekend in Las Vegas, Derrick found himself in need of an on-demand service that would connect him to a barber.
After searching high and low - and receiving a less than fashionable haircut - Derrick decided to create Krisspi, an app that connects clients with vetted licensed barbers and hairstylists. It’s like an Uber for hairstylists!
Since then, Derrick has grown Krisspi to incredible heights and has so much value and wisdom to offer us today.
Tune in to hear Derrick reveal the main tools business owners need to thrive, how he continues to stay on top of trends in technology, and how business owners can pivot during these uncertain times.
