Ben Sampson is a serial entrepreneur who started his first business in high school, his second business in College and more recently he started WeHero which enables companies to accomplish their social mission through powerful giving and volunteer programs.

With clients like Visa, Facebook, Salesforce and many more WeHero has gained great traction because it has product market fit, something Ben talks a lot on. 

We covered a lot during Ben's interview, so we broke our conversation into two parts. 

In part 1 he talks deeply about the emotions that come with starting and closing down businesses. 

In Part 2 we talk about product management, finding product market fit, how Ben started WeHero and how his business had to adapt to the market impacts of COVID-19.

We are excited to have Ben on the podcast today because he is energetic, he is passionate and he is dedicated to making an impact.
