Today's interview is with Dwayne Forde and I'm not even going to try to be measured about it! In a world where every Pivot is an unbelievably good coach and supporter, Dwayne Forde stands out as a Pivot's Pivot.
Kind and effective without ever compromising integrity.
Capable. So capable you start to wonder if there's any limit at all.
Dwayne knows team sports, and at Pivotal, I experienced him playing by the best possible rules: Honest, optimistic criticism in the search for Right/Kind/Works. His palpable commitment and insane fluency at increasing competency and growth org wide is something I could not get enough of.
In this episode, we talk about Dwayne's autodidact start in software and how he was tricked into a job at eXtreme Labs. Short and sweet, he sums up his first four weeks of pairing as: I became 20x more productive.
We move on to a discussion of his new company https://WithMantel.com - which is looking for lighthouse customers in Q4Y23. If you've got a Cap Table that you want to automate, you can become an early adopter for free.
We round out with a wide-ranging discussion of little 'a' agile observations.
