What do you do after building and selling a billion-dollar company? In this episode of Power Players, Brian Sozzi sits down with Bai founder Ben Weiss to discuss why building a second company may be even harder than the first. Weiss shares lessons from creating Bai, selling the business, starting over with Crook & Marker, why founders have to embrace failure, and why great brands require obsession long after launch. The conversation also explores entrepreneurship, leadership, fundraising, product innovation, building consumer brands, and why success never removes the need to start from scratch.
