Frank O'Dea Speaks With James Allan

On Thursday, I spoke with Frank O'Dea, founder of Second Cup and Pro-Shred. Both industries were essentially created from scratch. So Frank knows what it takes to create a new industry in a country, and is currently looking for investors to help him create a social housing industry in Brazil.

Frank follows a personal philosophy of Hope Vision Action. While these three things are not the only things required for business success, Frank argues they are essential ingredients of any business. Furthermore, Frank believes that hope can spread throughout an organization if the company's mission and vision statements are done properly.

The interview was recorded, and it will be released when the full blog is posted on Fast Company's Visionary Leader Series next week. Watch for what Frank has to say about innovation, leadership and the two mandatory ingredients to create a new industry.
