MISSION
About this episode

Henry Schuck is the Co-Founder and CEO of ZoomInfo, formerly known as DiscoverOrg.

Henry and his close friend Kirk Brown bootstrapped ZoomInfo into the massively successful tech company it is today. Funding the project with nothing but their own money, Henry and Kirk chose what many would consider the harder, but smarter, path to starting a business. Today, ZoomInfo has won hundreds of awards within the industry and has donated a considerable amount to charities in Washington State.

On this episode of Mission Daily, Albert and Henry discuss how he made the quick switch from law school to creating his own award-winning tech company, the rewards of working hard to meet your goals, and the importance of listening to the business.
