In this episode, Sam takes us through his journey - from what he thought would be a career in film to harnessing his love of creativity to build HotelTonight, which has since been acquired by AirBnb for more than $400 million. Sam talks about some of the biggest communication mistakes he sees founders make. He shares his keys to success to make sure you have a very clear and concise value proposition that anyone can grasp in seconds - hint: try to make it 5 words!
