Manage episode 485308565 series 3548052
What makes a great founder, and how can HR leaders become one?
In this candid and deeply personal conversation, Taylor Bradley sits down with Thach Nguyen, founder of executive search firm Plenty, to explore the evolving role of the founder-CEO and what it takes to lead with conviction, humility, and purpose. A self-described "accidental founder," Thach shares his unconventional path from HR leader to entrepreneur, the emotional highs and lows of building a business, and how self-awareness has become his most powerful leadership tool. From setting the right cultural tone to knowing when to push (and when to pull back), this episode is packed with wisdom for aspiring founders, HR executives, and anyone navigating the startup journey.
