Michael Andrews trained his whole life to climb the corporate career
ladders. He earned an undergraduate degree in engineering from Georgia
Tech and an joint MBA and JD from Northwestern. His hard work paid off
in a corporate law job with a prestigious firm. But through it all, he
had a nagging dream to be an entrepreneur. And not some dot-com star, he
wanted to be a clothier, making custom made suits for men. Evan and
returning guest host (now the longest guest host in show history!) Dan
talk to Michael about ditching a guaranteed paycheck for a business that
requires satisfying picky customers, working with overseas
manufacturers and dealing with lots of lots of returns (especially in
the early days). To start the podcast off, Evan and Dan discuss the
firing of New York Times editor Jill Abramson and whether radical
transparency in salaries would have prevented this and other corporate
problems.
