Like many entrepreneurs, Scott Hansen, founder and CEO of LeadSigma, never envisioned that he would strike out on his own and start his own company, let alone two. Growing up, Scott’s mother was an orthodontist, and it was his plan to follow in that same path and become a dentist. After completing undergrad, he deferred dentist school and decided to spend time working at his mother’s office, which began his entrepreneurial journey. “If what you’re doing right now does not reflect what you want it to be a year from now, then you’re doing the wrong thing.” -Scott HansenIn our conversation, Scott shares with us his story of how he started Professional Chats, his first company. He details how he grew it into many different verticals and went on to sell it.
