E sits down with Mark Tang—two-time founder with successful exits turned registered psychologist—to unpack what makes businesses (and leaders) truly perform. Mark shares how he rescued a struggling family venture, scaled in the US from scratch, and sold two companies (including one via vendor finance). He breaks down why founders often become the roadblock, how to diagnose culture and performance issues, and the trust–commitment loop that powers high-performing teams. Expect practical playbooks on sales vs. enterprise selling, hiring and “right seats,” using psychometrics, running effective offsites, and building compassionate leadership (wisdom + courage). Plus: lessons from selling with a broker, avoiding “all flash, no cash,” and why continuous learning keeps your edge sharp.
