Transcript

Hi, I’m Michael Koenig, the host of the new podcast, Between Two COO’s, where phenomenal COO’s come to share their knowledge.

When I was promoted to my first COO role, I thought “cool, what do I do now?”

So I thought about what I had done after I landed in any new role that might have been a stretch for me. I reached out to my friends, my mentors, and advisors for help, which I’ve been very fortunate to be able to rely on throughout my career.

With each conversation, I’d pick up new nuggets of wisdom, tips, and tricks, and I’ve passed those on to my teams, and the companies I’ve advised.

So when it came to getting advice on being a COO, I did the same thing and connected with other COO’s that have done it before.

In each conversation, one of us would say at some point, “we should really open source this and put it out there to help other COO’s.” And that’s what Between Two COO’s is all about: having a different COO on each episode to share their stories and advice.

So join me, every episode, on Between Two COO’s to hear stories and advice from incredible operators, and be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, so you never miss an episode. Just visit betweentwocoos.com for more.

Until our first episode, so long.
