Hugh Campbell On The Key to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur EP 1

Ever wondered how successful business leaders constantly re-invent themselves? And, how they emerge even stronger after every crisis? Today's episode will discuss just that and the key to becoming a successful entrepreneur. In today’s show, we have Hugh Campbell, a five-time serial entrepreneur and founder, AC4S Technologies, who shares his wisdom on growth, innovation, and integrity. You will learn how Hugh went from being a West Point graduate to successfully running a half-a-billion-dollar business. After graduating from Military Academy at West Point, Hugh worked at a data-communications company, Intermedia Communications, for a bit. He soon found VC backing and ventured out on his own with Accelacom, Inc. – a high-speed internet company. This business really took off, and ironically, Hugh became a victim of his own success. Eager to cash out, the VCs sold off the business in bits and pieces, and Hugh was forced to reinvent himself yet again. Wanting great autonomy after this bittersweet experience, Hugh founded the cloud-solution company AC4S technologies. In this segment of the show, you will learn the importance of looking forward, taking calculated risks, and surrounding yourself with trusted advisors. Particularly, Hugh talks about the watershed moment in his career after which AC4S Technologies really took off. We also have a heartfelt discussion on the importance of integrity.
