Ep 196: Achieving the American Dream with Sharad Chadha
Elzie hosts Sharad Chadha, the CEO and President at Sprecher Brewing Co. Inc. Sharad talks about how he started as an individual contributor to buying Sprecher, his motivation to own a company, growing the company, and tips and tricks to get people to the next level. They discuss the importance of having a coach, developing self-awareness, how making mistakes can be a good thing, and his inspiration to continue to serve the community with the company products.
Highlights:
06:06 I’d always work in a very safe environment: General Electric company, Samsung. But I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, that’s sort of the American dream, first coming to America and then owning a business and running it and adding jobs and creating great things and we’ve been able to do it. It was a hard journey, it was not easy.
08:29 There was this drive, there was this urge inside that I can do it, we can do it. If I get the right people together, if I can mortgage my house and pour enough money in, leave my job and do it full-time and get the right investors and bank.
09:48 If you put a good team together and have a vision and have a plan that I, we, Sprecher can be this craft beverage icon of America, why not us? A small company from Glendale, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and once people believe in it, you do magic, you do great things.
15:16 A good coach is someone who can look at you from a neutral standpoint, look at your positives, your good and your flaws and tell you how to put yourself in a position where you can succeed and utilize your strength.
19:00 Your strength sometimes is your weakness, too. Be careful there.
22:07 It’s okay to make mistakes, I really believe that if you’re not making mistakes you’re not learning, you’re not trying hard enough but learn from it. Fail fast, fail small, fail quick. Get up and fight again.
