CEO Series Ep.1: Ryan Galea - Ep.159

<p>My guest, Ryan Galea, is the first guest in a CEO series I’m doing with search CEOs who acquired their companies within the last 3 years and have early lessons and emotions in their very recent, or current, memory. The series aims to learn strategies and hear stories from early career CEOs about how to manage the first couple of years running a new company. </p><p>Ryan acquired VoiceFriend in August of &#39;21, a communications platform for nursing homes and senior living facilities. Then less than a year later acquired a second business Caremerge which offers engagement software for senior living. Ryan and I discuss managing people and tasks, internal communication, change management with an acquisition vs a merger, and what’s gone differently than expected.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>. </p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-galea-32914a29/" rel="nofollow">Ryan on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://goicon.com/" rel="nofollow">VoiceFriend (Now Icon)</a></p><p><a href="https://caremerge.com/" rel="nofollow">Caremerge</a></p><p><strong><u>Topics:</u></strong></p><p>(4:25) - Ryan’s career</p><p>(10:48) - How do you Prioritize tasks and which ones to delegate?</p><p>(11:59) - What’s your process for training someone to do a task you’ve previously done yourself?<
