Donald Spann is a successful entrepreneur with over 20 business starts and 4 exits. Donald shares his unconventional path to success, starting with how his experience playing poker taught him valuable lessons about risk, adaptability, and managing resources. He also explains how his comfort with being broke helped him build lean and resourceful businesses.
We dive into Donald's latest venture, a cannabis call center. He reveals how he identified an opportunity, secured investment, and quickly built a profitable company in a challenging market. We also explore his new international staffing company, where he focuses on finding the best talent, regardless of location. Donald argues that hiring internationally doesn't mean sacrificing quality, and he explains the importance of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) as a smart business strategy.
