For today's show we spoke with David Apple, the Director of Customer Success at Typeform, a startup that is reimagining the most fundamental interface between screens and humans. Before joining Typeform, David worked as a Mechanical Engineer in London and Berlin, started and sold his own business, and tried getting into FC Barcelona. We covered: - David’s planning rigor. - Is an MBA still worth it? - What does it mean to be customer obsessed. - How to think about conversations, and the magic of small talk. - Lessons on being customer driven, learned from his father. - The two ways to think about competition. - How Typeform makes crucial decisions. - The unlikely beginning of Customer Success at Typeform. - The five pillars of Typeform’s Customer Success team. - What being proactive really entails and why David applied for a position at FC Barcelona. - What it takes to understand fellow sapiens.
