Cary Broussard, host of Cinderella CEO On Air, interviews Andrew Mathewes about pivoting from his roles as corporate/large enterprise team member to entrepreneur.
Leaving his role as Director of Development for the National Civil Rights Museum, going out on his own and starting not one businesses - but two - 1) A consulting business for non-profits 2) An interactive campus (restaurant, playground, event venue) called Stomping Grounds , catering to children and their parents. Children can play safely while adults relax, gather, and socialize.
Cary speaks with Andrew about living the entrepreneur life, details about his successful fifteen-year career and how he concepted the idea to build a campus for kids in his community called Stomping Grounds.
Father of two little boys, Andrew refers to himself as Chief Dad Officer of Stomping Grounds, his new venture. He also talks about disrupting one's career and finding a way to adapt and pivot and grow and improve, leveraging technology, people and community. His view on technology is to make sure technology is serving people. Over the last decade, having seen the impacts, sometimes negative, that technology can have, he reflects on how we make sure that technology is for good and for people and to improve their lives to make them more efficient and better and have better outcomes.
In planning this interview, Andrew said he wants people to go out there and try a tool that they haven't tried yet. He recommends getting comfortable with being uncomfortable...and Just see what happens and test and learn, um. And I think a lot of good can come from that, and I think people will be glad that they push themselves where they were previously uncomfortable.
Andrew's background:
Andrew began his career at Epic Medical Records in Madison, Wisconsin. In the public sector, he served as a legislative aide to the Memphis City Council where he currently lives (and his hometown). He went on to work for the nonprofits, Alsac Saint Jude and the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
