Paul Orfalea - It’s About the Money - [Invest Like the Best, EP.299]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is Paul Orfalea. Paul founded Kinkos, the popular copy chain, in 1970. He started with a single photocopy shop in California and grew the business into a $2 billion multinational operation over the course of his 30 years in charge. Paul is a non-traditional leader in the best sense and we discuss his philosophy of business building, from why your subordinates should frustrate you, why you shouldn’t love your business and tips he learned on hiring well. Please enjoy this conversation with Paul Orfalea. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Founders <a href= "https://founders.simplecast.com/episodes/copy-this-how-i-turned-dyslexia-adhd-and-100-square-feet-into-a-company-called-kinkos"> podcast</a> on Paul Orfalea.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to mentioned content, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/56546035/orfalea-its-about-the-money"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>-----</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by</strong> <a href= "https://tegus.co/patrick"><strong>Tegus</strong></a><strong>.
