This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to make effective leadership development available for everyone. My guest is Smadar Tadmor, CEO of Claro Mentor.

Smadar Tadmor is a visionary leader who's on a mission to change the way organizations develop their managers. With over 30 years in HR and organizational development, she founded three successful consulting companies before spotting a critical gap: most leadership development programs weren't driving real behavior change.

This insight led her to found Claro Mentor in 2022, creating a platform that makes personalized leadership guidance available for every layer of an organization.

What makes her story particularly compelling is her transition at this stage in her career - moving from being a top-tier consultant to a first-time tech startup CEO, embracing a beginner's mindset while leveraging decades of domain expertise.

And this inspired me, and hence I invited Smadar to my podcast. We explore her remarkable transition from successful consultant to first-time tech CEO, where she had to unlearn decades of habits to build something entirely new. She shares candid insights about the struggles of perfectionism, the surprises of product-market fit, and how bootstrapping forced tough but transformative decisions that shaped their innovative approach to leadership development.

Here's one of her quotes: “I left behind an amazing 30 years of career where I was top-notch consultant, well known... and start from a place where I know nothing. And it's very humbling to be at this point. From that perspective, I could be very open to explore and take risks that I think in a different way I wouldn't be doing.”

By listening to this podcast, you will learn the following:

Why starting with 'knowing nothing' became Smadar's biggest advantage

The surprising reason their initial AI coaching approach failed - and what insight changed everything

How bootstrapping revealed a truth about their product they wouldn't have discovered otherwise

The counterintuitive approach that doubled their customer adoption
