Episode Description

How do you make your company bigger, stronger, and more notable? Or, perhaps, that isn’t the right question to ask. After burning through millions of dollars of funding with his first company Shyp, Kevin Gibbon learned that company growth is not necessarily growth through funding or massive scaling.

After working as a developer for companies like Raytheon and Boeing, Kevin Gibbon ventured into founding his own companies and currently runs Airhouse, which helps other entrepreneurs bring their creations to the forefront. Slow and steady doesn’t always win the race -- Kevin’s success has been a result of learning from massive trial and error, while maintaining the vigor to continuously forge ahead. Join us as we talk about his entrepreneurial journey of finding balance between unbounded optimism and incisive problem-solving.
