Learning from Failure and Building a Team with Lessonly's Max Yoder (TP10)

Learning from Failure and Building a Team with Lessonly’s Max Yoder (TP10)

I’m joined by Max Yoder, the CEO of Lessonly for our special 10th episode on The Plunge Podcast. I stopped by the Lessonly offices (special in their own right!) to chat about his college experience, starting his first company, and how he got to where he is now. Max has a really unique perspective on running a company and what it really means to be a CEO, and I’m glad we got to unpack his thoughts…

DO YOU WANT IT EASY? By Max Yoder

Do you want it easy, Like cats asleep? Or do you think we’ve got, A lot to see?

I’m trying patience, And ready ears. They take from my shoulder, What’s been there for years.

When I sail out of that door, Don’t know what I’m looking for, But I’ve seen those detective shows, The clues come to those who go, So, I go.

I once had a lover, With a changing name. I let my comfort and my, convenience keep me the same.

We won’t trust the people, Who won’t accept, Every other stubborn fool, Who acts like them.

This will be your letter, This will be your song, I’m going to put our love in stories, Where it belongs.

I’m gonna find you, Dressed all in clothes, With loads of hope, Behind your nose.

We’re gonna sail out of that door, Don’t know what we’re looking for, But you and me we’re about the ride, Not the mirrors there on the side.

SLEEPWALKING By Modest Mouse Covered by Max Yoder and Matthew Anderson

I fell in love and I needed a roadmap, To find out where you lived, So excited now.

Sleepwalking, I'm sleepwalking.

The white trash boys, Listen to their headphones, Blasting white noise, In the convenience store parking lot.

And I hung around there, Just wasting my time, Hoping that you’d stop by.

I was sleepwalking, Sleepwalking.

A mutual friend’s parents, Left town for a week, So we raided their liquor stash, And went down to the riverside.

Sleepwalking, We’re sleepwalking, We’re all sleepwalking.

TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END By Daniel Johnston Covered by Max Yoder

Accompaniment by Alec Synnestvedt (acoustic guitar) and Robbie Jacobs (electric guitar).

LYRICS True love will find you in the end. You'll find out just who was your friend.

Don’t be sad, I know you will, But don’t give up until, True love finds you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch, Only if you're looking will it find you. ‘Cause true love is searching, too. But how can it recognize you, Unless you step out into the light?

Don’t be sad, I know you will, But don’t give up until, True love finds you in the end.
