In the next episode of our Leadership Lessons series, host Jason Nazar of Comparably will speak to self-made billionaire Ben Chestnut, co-founder/CEO of Mailchimp— the world’s leading marketing platform for small businesses. Known for its signature chimpanzee mascot, more than 14 million people utilize Mailchimp to power their e-marketing and e-commerce efforts. With $700 million in earnings in 2019, it recently expanded into social media, search engine advertising, postal mail, and text messaging to satisfy consumer requirements. Chestnut originally co-founded the company as a side hustle after being laid off from his web design job in the dot com bubble burst of 2001, and it has since grown into a business with an approximated value of more than $4.2 billion and an incredible 60 percent market share. A unicorn accomplishment in and of itself: Chestnut and his co-founder refused a billion dollars from outside financiers, each still maintaining 50 percent ownership of the company.
In addition to sharing Mailchimp’s unbelievable development story over the previous twenty years, other subjects consist of:
– How to turn a side hustle into a billion-dollar organization
– Ben’s “listen hard, change fast” approach
– The worth of great branding for small companies
– The keys to motivating creativity and development
