ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this week’s episode, Rick sat down with Kyle York — or at least a computer with Kyle’s face on it — to discuss using data for growth, both literally and metaphorically. Kyle is the CEO and co-founder of York IE, a vertically integrated strategic growth and investment firm specializing in scaling startup companies. That was a lot of technical jargon, but it boils down to this: Kyle knows his stuff when it comes to company growth. So, while a million and one people have covered this topic before, you can bet good money Kyle is about to teach you something none of them ever did.
