What CEOs of Public Companies Have In Common
Josh Wilson 00:00:00 Having 70 conversations with someone who has taken the company public or been a part of the public market. What's a common thread in terms of character traits or personality that you have seen amongst those different interviews?
Seth Farbman 00:00:13 Yeah, that's actually a great question. Nobody's ever asked me. you know, it really runs the gamut. I mean, there are some there are some CEOs that we work with on the public company side that you'd be fairly surprised to find out that they really want to stay under the radar. Like, they don't want to do posts. They don't want their name out there. not for anything like nefarious. They're just they're just low key guys. They they might be biotech or pharma CEOs that have this phenomenal publicly traded company that we work with on Nasdaq. But the guys like, I just want to talk science. I don't want to I don't want to get my name or my picture out there. He's like, I don't want to be garyvee. I just want to. I just want to, you know, be in the lab.
Seth Farbman 00:00:53 but then you do have others that they're not the science guys, right? They don't know anything about it. But man, can they sell. And can they story tell? and those are the guys that that have the personality. So I don't think that there's one theme, throughout the different types because, you know, from, from our perspective of what we, what we do currently with, with the company I run Vstock. You know, we're we're agnostic means, you know, we can we can work with companies that are doing esports. EV as I said, biotech, pharma. but but they all, they all they all figured it out and they all I guess they all want to take the leap to the grand stage of, of being on Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange. That's the common theme.
