Entrepreneurship Meets AI – Leroy Lawrence on Pioneering Seamless Customer Experiences – #036
In this episode of the Breakthrough Moments podcast, I sit down with Leroy Lawrence, the founder of Pigee—a B2B supply chain app that's using AI to bridge the gap between merchants and customers. Leroy’s journey started with a simple frustration as a frequent traveler—why is it so hard to buy unique products abroad and trust they'll make it home? That frustration turned into a global business, and today, we unpack the story behind it.Leroy opens up about the challenges of scaling a business, especially transitioning from founder-led to product-led sales, and how he's managed to build a network of over a thousand salespeople worldwide. We dive into how feedback from the field shaped Pigee’s product and the game-changing role AI now plays in creating a simpler, smarter, and more tailored user experience. But we don’t stop there—this episode goes beyond the tech. We talk about the importance of building a competitive edge that’s hard to replicate, why the current venture capital landscape is failing entrepreneurs, and how defining personal success can keep you grounded, even when you're chasing big goals. If you’re curious about how AI is reshaping industries or what it takes to create meaningful impact as an entrepreneur, you won’t want to miss this one.
