Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition

Fresh off her new book, Leadership and Life Hacks, Alyssa Rapp joins Brian to talk about her transition from founding and leading every wine drinker’s favorite app, bottlenotes, to moving back to Chicago and takin the reins at Surgical Solutions. Alyssa discusses her “hacks” for learning about the health care services industry, working with an inherited board and juggling family and personal life outside of work. She also speaks about her work at Booth as a lecturer for the capstone class Women as CEOs, Investors and Board Members. Spoiler alert-hacks will only get you so far as Alyssa’s motivational story is one of hard work, being present, taking risks and surrounding yourself with great people.
