Employee success, vs. entrepreneur success? The concept of an “intrapreneur” has springboarded Caleb Whittle’s career way past where he would have imagined, especially after the struggle of entrepreneur vs. intrapreneur. He’s leading marketing at a startup now because of his devotion to intrapreneurship.
A career on intrapreneurship is unshakable
Caleb’s experienced many pivots throughout his life—going from wanting to be a pilot, to aerospace engineering, to marketing, to jumping around industries, to even doubting himself and missing out on what would’ve been the perfect opportunity for him. He now interviews successful professionals across industries on how they apply intrapreneurship values in their places of work.
