26 - Why Mindset is So Important in Scaling a Company with LVT's Steve Lindsey

CEO & Founder Magic

Your host, Sheila Kloefkorn, talks with the Founding Partner and Chief Technology Officer of LVT, Steve Lindsey. LVT specializes in providing life safety and security solutions for outdoor areas. While many people associate security technology with cameras and sensors inside buildings, LVT fills a unique niche by deploying technology in outdoor spaces where there is less infrastructure. This approach allows them to compensate for the lack of security guard resources and provide security in areas where it is most needed.

Steve believes in the importance of technology in life safety situations, where putting a human in harm's way is not ideal. By deploying technology instead of security guards, LVT offers a cheaper and more consistent coverage solution. In today's world, Steve highlighted the growing need for life safety and security solutions.

Steve explained that LVT took a different approach compared to traditional technology companies. Instead of relying on investment money and running at a loss, they aimed to grow organically. Steve discussed the mindset shift he had to make as the company scaled. Initially, he had a vision of how the company would grow and believed he could develop talent over time. However, as the business started growing at a rapid rate of 100% or more for multiple years, he realized that his previous mindset was no longer sufficient.
