E58 - Ifty Kerzner (Co-founder Kissterra)
In this episode, we speak with Ifty Kerzner.\n\nHe\u05f3s first and foremost a creator. He was a fairly known singer, and composer in Israel, with several successful hits, a tv host, and a journalist.\n\nBut he wasn\u2019t satisfied. \n\nSo he realigned his goals and pivoted.\n\nHe co-founded Kissterra - a startup that helps insurance companies increase profitability through artificial intelligence. They\u2019ve raised a $76M Series A, and had refused an offer to sell for $40M (but we don\u2019t go into that in our conversation).\n\nHis energy can be felt from the get go. \n\nHe\u2019s sensitive and super passionate, speaking openly about pain and failure, not trying to paint a perfect picture of life. \n\nWhich is admirable. \n\nListening to him made us wonder how much charisma and the ability to hold a strong stage presence, can be an advantage in entrepreneurship.\n\nWe discuss:\n- The difference between competence and arrogance\n- The effect of parenthood on his self-confidence\n- How pain fuels his life\n- The power of strong partnerships \n- Going to therapy with your business partner\n- Intuition and emotion\n- And much more\n\nEnjoy your listen
