Ep 141 Interview Sessions with Danielle Gillespie

On episode 141 I am joined by Danielle Gillespie, founder of Ideas Last. Danielle Gillespie is a tech geek who thrives on building rock solid products that people love. Her success is based on one central theme: Ideas Last. Danielle has over 25 years of experience developing tech products. Her experience covers a variety of industries including hospitality, health and wellness, manufacturing, retail and first responders. One thing that products in all industries have in common: the best products focus on customers first while downplaying “idea”. Danielle has worked for start-ups of various sizes and stages for the majority of her career. She founded her own company, has held various product development roles and actively advises a handful of start-up tech companies. In the episode you will hear: 01:00 accidentally falling in to software development 03:00 when you realise your solution can solve other problems elsewhere 04:30 a lot of entrepreneurs are being fleeced 05:00 the flaws behind an ideas mindset 08:45 get 5 people who love your product and see how they interact with it 13:00 adding significant value by doing what you’re good at 16:00 the long term success is not about the idea 17:30 the intersection of the idea and the playground I hope this conversation inspires you to show up in the leadership playground.
