Today my guest is breaking a rule that I never thought would come up on this show.

Nancy Brown is the co-founder of BookClubz, an online platform that helps you organize your book club for free.

BookClubz is a fast-growing company, one that essentially is competing with the giants Amazon and Good Reads–huge players in the market.

And the rule they are breaking...

They are doing it while playing nice!

BookClubz is breaking stereotypes and rules by being true to who they are and believing that you can build a fast-growing startup while being true to their values.

I would describe the founders of BookClubz as considerate founders. They truly care about the people they serve, their partners, and their investors. They aren’t interested in shortcuts to profits, or stealing business, or being a dominant force in the market. They know they have a unique product, a dedicated community and they don’t have to play the Last Man Standing game and demolish the competition.

This interview was honestly so refreshing, not only have they build a super useful way to organize your book club, but they are examples to follow of what a successful tech company can look like.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

• 
  
• How BookClubz helps you move past difficult logistics to the fun part–reading books
  
• How Nancy and her team manage the co-founder relationships to divide and conquer
  
• Why keeping BookClubz free to use is in alignment with their values and greater mission
  
• And what they are doing to stand out and stay competitive in a land of Giants
