Ready to discover how to hire for potential rather than past credentials—and why it could transform your business?

In this episode of Parallel Entrepreneur, Mark Cleveland sits down with Caitlin MacGregor, CEO and Co-Founder of Plum, to talk about building a high-growth company while raising a family and defying the usual startup playbook.

Highlights:

  • Power Couple: Why being married to her co-founder is Caitlin’s superpower (despite investor skepticism).
  • 13 Years of Growth: Balancing fundraising with customer-driven revenue, and why sales might matter more than venture capital.
  • People Over Résumés: How Plum’s behavioral data approach uncovers “diamonds in the rough” for any role.
  • Authentic Leadership: Leading with love, care, and collaboration to break down silos and foster real engagement.
  • GenAI & the Future: Why tasks, not jobs, are being automated—and how to reinvent your organization for exponential success.
