In this episode, I interviewed Alex Ruehle, CEO of zapliance, a human-centric, data-based, context-driven company, providing data analytic solutions to its clients. Alex told me about his journey of learning Internal Audit from scratch, not being fully appreciated where he used to work, and ultimately opening his own Audit company. Zapliance currently has 14 employees. Some of his tips include:

- Get your family on board.

- Be surrounded by people who believe in you.

- Connect, connect, connect with other people. That's where your opportunities will come from.

- Start with passion, and don't forget GRIT!
