Ep #364: Trey Taylor – A CEO Only Does Three Things

Today we’re going to talk about the business ownership position—a.k.a. the CEO position. Many of us aspire to be there, and many are there, either out of default because someone had to fill that position or because we were the ones who decided to build the business. Trey Taylor has been through each of those situations, and he joins me on the podcast to share his wisdom when it comes to being an effective CEO.

Trey, CEO and business coach, has had a profound effect on the success of his business. Listen in as he shares his initial career journey and how he got shoved into the role of CEO with no experience in the company’s field. You will learn how important company culture is, how to define appropriate roles, and what really made a difference when it comes to taking charge (of the right things).
