"Failure taught me who I am and what my core values are."

Building a successful business doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a journey filled with trials, triumphs, and endless learning.

In this episode of The Business OS, host Tom Burgess sits down with Matt Tait, CEO of Decimal, as he shares his journey from being a lawyer to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Matt discusses his initial business failure in restaurant tech and the valuable lessons it taught him about resilience and the importance of openly discussing failure.

Now leading a fully remote company serving over 650 clients with a strong emphasis on values and culture, Matt talks about the challenges and strategies of remote work. He also touches on the significance of personal and mental health for CEOs, the importance of having a coach and peer group, and knowing when to delegate tasks.
