Follow your passion regardless of how you look to others. Being a leader means having grit, passion and hunger, but also being able to make tough decisions in tough moments.
Today on the show Stephynie is talking with the CMO of Matterport, Robin Daniels. Robin has spent the last 20 years in Silicon Valley working for tech companies, including Salesforce, Box and LinkedIn. Robin joined Matterport at the end of March during the pandemic. They decided to accelerate their planned iPhone launch to give their target audience more tools to use during the pandemic. He was doing this while still new to his team, everyone was in complete lockdown, and they lacked some players in product marketing etc.
As a young man, Robin booked a one-way ticket from Copenhagen to San Francisco in 2000. Being 21-years old with nothing to lose, he was determined to join the tech revolution that was bubbling in Silicon Valley. He had no job, no contacts and nowhere to stay—just a passport and a boundless sense of optimism.
Since then, Robin has picked up business and marketing experience at some of the most exciting high-growth tech companies across the US. Having held executive leadership roles at WeWork, LinkedIn, SalesForce, and Box—Robin was primed to succeed in his new role as CMO at Matterport, which he took on in early 2020.

Every day we hear stories about how people have found success. They went from rags to riches, they worked hard, and they overcame huge challenges.
But every time we hear these stories they are told like overnight successes, with decades of experience and hardship being summarized into one sentence about how they “made it”
But I want to dig into these gritty, and challenging moments when they weren’t quite there yet, or when everything came crashing down on them.
I want to dig into the truth, grit, and authenticity so few are willing to share about their journeys to success. And I want to inspire you to see failures and obstacles as stepping stones towards success.
I’m your host Stephynie Malik, and welcome to SPIN IT: Business & Crisis Management where here, the worst of times can become the best of times because it’s all in how you spin it!
