Good morning everyone! On Today's episode, Max talks about what it takes to be successful as a Growth Marketer, why learning to code is important, and how the Chilean community supported him here in San Francisco in his work as a Growth Marketing Manager at Samsara. For those of you that don't know, Samsara was started by the Founders of Meraki (sold to Cisco for $1.2 Billion) which eventually became Cisco's fastest growing business. Samsara is a company with several people from the original Meraki team. They raised a $25M Series A, have Marc Andressen on their board, and they are growing like crazy in the IOT space. Max Rencoret grew up in Chile where he first got exposed to its education system, startup culture, economic climate, government and other things that led him to a career in Growth Marketing, where he felt like he could make the most impact in his life. He also talks about several mentors like Andy Johns, Jared Kopf, etc. that influenced him throughout this journey and the guidance they shared with him.
