A note from your host, Laura:
My goal for Calling Operator 2.0 is to open-source stories with world-class operators and learn how they excel at building and scaling companies. As a Chief of Staff, I often find myself in (virtual) rooms with people tackling similar challenges. I want this podcast to open a line for operators to learn from each other, offer support, and celebrate successes together.
Do you have an operator on speed dial who could be perfect for the show? I can't wait to learn about them. Contact me via LinkedIn.
