The Purpose of a Company | Clint Oram from Sugar CRM

In his youth, Clint Oram shadowed his father as he built an early computer company that offered communication solutions before there was email. “I was standing at his knee looking up starry eyed at this awesome entrepreneur making it happen,” Clint says.

On this edition of Founders Journey, Clint shares the important lessons he learned from his father—and the many lessons he learned with his own company, SugarCRM, including how to build the right team, and why you should embrace change.
