The Power of the Inside Innovator: Why Intrapreneurs Are the Key to Corporate Growth with Louis Gump
Inside every great company is an innovator quietly reshaping the future. In this edition of Business Owner Tales from the Trenches, author and strategist Louis Gump joins Cannon Carr to spotlight the often-overlooked role of the intrapreneur—those who drive growth, transformation, and value creation from within.
Drawing from original research and dozens of interviews for his book The Inside Innovator, Louis unpacks how intrapreneurs adapt large organizations to changing markets, train the next generation of leaders, and—perhaps most surprisingly—serve as launchpads for entrepreneurs on the outside. Learn how corporate innovators think, how they identify opportunities for collaboration with smaller firms, and how internal ecosystems like Atlanta's are quietly leading global innovation.
Whether you’re a business leader looking to cultivate internal talent or an entrepreneur hoping to partner with big enterprise, this episode is a must-listen.
