S4 Bonus: Dave MacLeod, ThoughtExchange

Noah Labhart - Startup Founder & CTO
About this episode

As an interesting turn to the guests I have on the podcast, Dave MacLeod is not a technologist by trade. He is a serial entrepreneur, and an old school face to face facilitator, who cares a lot about what people have to say and feel. He came out of college having taken every course under the sun, and getting zero degrees.. which prepared him perfectly to be a consultant.

He lives in a small ski town called Rossland, in British Columbia. And it's important to him to be a good Dad, a good Son, and a good member of his community.

Along the way, he got to do some interesting and complex work, where he heard voices representing many different viewpoints. In doing this, he picked up some facilitation techniques to figure out what was important within the diverse groups of people he was working with. He got hooked up with some people building software to solve a similar problem.

This is the creation story of ThoughtExchange.
