In E76, we share one of the key moments from Localogy’s April L24 conference in Arlington, Texas. On the morning of the conference’s second day, I sat down with Thryv Chairman and CEO Joe Walsh to discuss leadership and managing through change. We share that conversation in this episode.
Our episode title refers to a moment in the interview when Walsh recalls talking to Thryv (then Dex Media) employees about the need to pivot from Yellow Pages to SaaS. Seeing a decade of small business SaaS adoption ahead of them, Walsh, referencing a famous Sam Kinison bit, told the audience that it was critical that they “move to the food.”
