In this episode, we engage in a dynamic conversation with Nick McEvily, a designer and business advisor, who shares his entrepreneurial journey and insights on cultivating a mission-driven company culture. Nick, founder of Relivable and Further Faster Ventures, distinguishes between "missionaries" (employees passionate about the mission) and "mercenaries" (those motivated by financial gain). He emphasizes the importance of adaptability, customer discovery, and maintaining a balance between these employee types.
