Often hailed as one of the best CEOs for Diversity, a five-time founder and leading figure in the SaaS world, a best-selling author, Drift’s CEO David Cancel is a man of many talents. Even with such incredible successes and coveted positions, David humbly identifies himself as a father of two, who spends each day trying to be a little wiser (yes, Charlie Munger is his role model).

Joining the conversation at Reboot, David talks about his utmost dedication to learning and how it manifests in his quest to turn his company and people into learning machines, as well as the idea and real challenges of being customer-centric. He explains how the rituals at Drift give people a strong sense of ownership, empower them to experiment and fail without repercussions as long as they learn from their mistakes, and help them feel centered around the shared mission and goals.

David's long-term vision for Drift is to become the new face of Corporate America when it comes to diversity (we have full confidence he’ll get there!). For more insights from this brilliant entrepreneur, his reading tips, lifestyle, and eternal love for hip hop, check out the full episode.
