Have you ever left something that was safe and comfortable in order to push yourself? Taken a leap of faith, even though there wasn’t clear evidence it would pan out? Broken the mold and made a decision that was counterintuitive to what most would think?
That’s what Gordon Daugherty did when he left a Fortune 500 company to join smaller companies in order to drive the learner in him. Gordon used his experience from growing up as a competitive swimmer to build self-confidence that he relied on when he faced terrifying risks and put the weight of a company’s success on his shoulders. And in the end, it paid off — Gordon has helped dozens of startups break through and succeed as the Co-Founder and President of the Capital Factory.
