Interview with Louise Flynn

Why Marketing Plans are Dead, Saas, Sass, and Building a Consulting Business with Louise Flynn, Co-Founder of Bright Canvas

Today’s guest is Louise Flynn, Co-Founder of BrightCanvas and Founder of Rulu.

In this episode, we cover how Louise built a consulting business and what roadblocks she came across while doing so. An established professional skilled in building Saas companies, she speaks about what she had to learn and who she had to become to build a consulting business.

It was very interesting to hear from Louise how she draws metaphors between basketball and business and how her basketball mind has helped her career.

Her love for Saas (software as a service) and the Sass in discussing her story make for a fascinating listen.

We talk about why marketing plans are dead, compete for who is the worst digital marketer in Brisbane out of the two of us, and talk technology businesses through and through.

I asked Louise onto the podcast because she is so open and knowledgeable, tells a great story, and is just good fun to be around. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
