CC 17 | Louis Gump and his Journey through Intrapreneurship

February 26, 2024 • Bruce Smith • Episode 17

I’ve always loved a good story about entrepreneurship, but today, we're going to talk about something a little different - intrapreneurship. On this episode of Consuming Careers, I’m thrilled to share a brisk conversation I recently had with the brilliant Louis Gump. Louis has just penned an insightful book called "The Inside Innovator". It's all about how you can spark innovation and launch new products or services right where you are - within your current company. And Louis knows what he's talking about. He's been at the forefront of multiple technology launches at The Weather Channel, CNN and Cox Media Group. He's mastered the art of navigating the complex environments of large corporations to introduce products and services that align with a company's mission while leveraging its core competencies.
