This is part 2 of our 3 part series with Eyal Halamish.
The episode jumps right in with Eyal explaining ‘how we fix democracy’ and his theories on policy, government and technology working together to benefit the public and our leaders.
He then continues telling the story of his journey as a leader at OurSay, the platform that he built. He explains their 'quick' wins within their first 6 months of business: features on ABC Q&A, meetings with former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Google and Fairfax Media partnerships, and their website getting over 10 million hits.
He was on fire and it was safe to say, Eyal felt on top of the world... until a few missteps sent their strategy into a spin and he nearly lost everything.
Eyal had to reinvent himself. He shares how he ended up running out of capital and needed to let go of his team of 30 people and the journey he took to re-invest himself as a leader. He shares the value of listening to your team and the importance of taking feedback as you go.
