DGM 80: Anup Gosavi's Career Path - How He Got There

In this podcast, I talk to Anup Gosavi, CEO of startup Spext, about his career journey. Spext allows you to edit audio the same way you edit text, saving time, and producing a great result. Spext also provides a very unique consumption experience, providing the transcription of the audio and allowing you to select snippets that you can share with others in email or on social media. As a quick summary - Anup grew up in India. He went to college there for engineering. He started his career there working in Product Management and Marketing. He then moved to the US where he continued his education focusing on digital marketing, design, and business. This prepared him to go out on his own focusing on user experience and then starting his own company. I got to know Anup through an angel investment opportunity. I was excited by the Spext product for my podcasts. I talked to him about the plans that they have moving forward and decided to become an investor. I continue to spend some time with Anup and have grown to appreciate his vision, leadership approach, and desire to solve customer problems. I hope you enjoy hearing from Anup about the path he has taken to get to where he is today.
