- How Clate joined Keap (then Infusionsoft) in 2002 as one of three co-founders, and how the company has since grown to over $100 million with around 400 employees
- Why escaping the chaos with a clear plan is the key to surviving and thriving, and why strong relationships and service are core to thriving in chaos
- How Clate learned after the 2008 recession that serving, giving, and teaching create new opportunities even in difficult times
- Clate shares three invaluable mindset strategies: building your emotional capital, practicing disciplined optimism, and exercising entrepreneurial independence
- Why the first few years at Clate's company were about survival, how Clate learned to change his mindset, and how his new mindset made a real difference
- How the pandemic has affected Keap's short term goals, and how their ten-year goals have remained unchanged
- Why having a laser focus on your niche rather than falling prey to "shiny object syndrome" is necessary for growth, and why saying no to certain opportunities is vital
- Why Clate suggests you find and identify the problems your customers are having and then strategize ways to serve them and help them overcome those challenges
- Why a service mindset rather than a sales mindset is the secret to creating new opportunities during bear markets
