Succession Stories EP213: Balancing Business and Identity, Jennifer Bisceglie - The Entrepreneur Gene
“ It's really hard out there. Other people will beat you up. You don't have to do it to yourself.” - Jennifer Bisceglie
This week on The Entrepreneur Gene - a featured series of Succession Stories - Host Laurie Barkman talks with Jennifer Bisceglie, Founder and Executive Vice Chair of Interos.
Jennifer discusses the concept of identity for owners- as part of the business and outside of your company. She shares the challenges of managing a business that heavily relies on U.S. federal contracts and navigating rapid administrative changes.
Jennifer also talks about the impacts of AI on supply chain risk management, as well as the excitement to come within the field. Additionally, the episode highlights Jennifer’s advocacy for women in business and involvement with Women Impacting Public Policy International.
Tune in for insights into building a scalable and valuable business, handling unpredictability, and maintaining a balanced life.
Takeaways:
Cultivate interests and activities outside your business to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This could include hobbies, family time, or community involvement.
When the time is right, bringing in external leadership, such as a new CEO, can help scale your business. This allows you to focus on strategic aspects and areas where your expertise is most valuable.
Clearly define your business's purpose and align your strategies to create value for your team and customers.
Keep a broader perspective during challenging times. Identify what you can control and build resilience by focusing on these areas.
