Ep. 224: Alex (@aebridgeman) is joined by Godard Abel (@GodardAbel).

My guest is Godard Abel, founder and CEO of G2, an enterprise software marketplace that helps software buyers find the right software for their companies and key problems. G2 is the third company he has led as CEO, the first two being BigMachines, founded in 2000, and SteelBrick, founded in 2014.

We talk about lessons learned building all three companies, challenges he’s currently facing, picking the right industries to build in, hiring talented people, and what trends in software and AI he’s excited about today. There were also some fantastic books, blogs, and concepts mentioned in the podcast so be sure to catch those in the show notes.
