Nick Hughes is joined by Maggie Olson, owner and founder of Nova Chief of Staff from Lincoln, Nebraska. Nova Chief of Staff offers Chief of Staff services to CEOs / Founders looking to maximize their time and impact, remain focused on large-scale initiatives rather than tactical execution, improve business planning and preparedness, elevate their executive team, and drive major process improvements and efficiencies across their organization…without full time labor costs or specialist hiring.

The episode starts with Nick and Maggie discussing her background and journey into entrepreneurship and startups.  We hear what she learned when working with major companies and corporate leaders and then why she choose entrepreneurship. They then talk about why she started her company, and learn what is a chief of staff.  A Chief of Staff allows you as a CEO or Founder to stay focused on your vision— the “what,” while we step in to focus on the execution—the “how.” Then they discuss when a leader knows it’s time to bring someone on and what are the biggest challenges CEOs and founders face and how can a chief of staff help? They end the conversation with Maggie's advice for founders and early stage leaders. This is a great interview with an inspiring lead and Chief of Staff,  we hope it helps you today.
