The reason this podcast is called "Pivotal People" is because in the 20-year experience with my Coupon Mom website, there were many people who helped me tremendously over the years. However, there are a few people who I consider to be "pivotal people," meaning that if they hadn't offered to help me, the Coupon Mom website would have been a failure.
Today's guest, Robert Swarthout, is one of the four most pivotal people in the Coupon Mom journey. He was the genius behind making sure the technology of the website worked--in extremely challenging situations. He has done the same for other companies, and has created and built companies of his own. Today, he has practical and helpful advice for all of us on how to pursue our ideas and face challenges on our own paths to success.
He's absolutely brilliant, extremely hard-working, and is a really nice person. He has an impressive resume of technology positions with major companies and is also a very successful entrepreneur. Ten years ago he went out on his own to create and build a business (Shootproof.com), and he recently sold it for an undisclosed amount.
Robert is now an advisor and investor in start-up companies and enjoys helping other people build and grow their big ideas. He is also a very generous philanthropist.
