Rebel Intrapreneur is a podcast about a new category of high performing employee. Rebel intrapreneurs further the mission of an organization while simultaneous challenging the system from within. Founders and entrepreneurs are thirsty to find people who believe in their mission as much as they do, and pursue that mission relentlessly. Rebel Intrapreneur is hosted by Bill Cushard, who has reported directly to founder/CEOs four times in his career, which makes him an ideal guide on your intrapreneurial journey.

Johnny Page 2X CEO, “I’m the definition of intrapreneur”
Rebel intrapreneurs can make a huge impact in any function or any role. There are no constraints, other than one’s creativity and passion for making a difference.
One rebel intrapreneur path is to CEO.
Johnny Page (https://www.instagram.com/johnnypage13/), CEO of SaaS Academy (https://www.saasacademy.com/) is a self-described intrapreneur who pursued and became CEO two different times in his career.
“I am the definition of an intrapreneur.”
We talked to Johnny about how he became CEO.
And how he did it twice.
Johnny has been thinking a lot about his journey and designed a set of stages to describe how he did it. I’d like to think that by listening to this conversation, you can learn from what Johnny did to pursue his intrapreneur journey, and design your own path.

096 Erin Andrea Craske Why you shouldn’t be a rebel intrapreneur
The one question we have not explored on this podcast, for obvious reasons, is whether one should be a rebel intrapreneur in the first place? Maybe we shouldn’t. Erin Andrea Craske makes the case that pursuing a rebel intrapreneurial career is a recipe for stress and disillusionment.
In one part of our conversation, Erin talks about three types of people at work. Those who:
* Blend in.
* Do their best, even though they don’t really accept or believe what is going on in the organization. Those people eventually burn out.
* Disagree and quit.
None of these are rebel intrapreneurs.
So, does this mean we should not pursue intrapreneurship? That is what we discuss.
Prepare to be challenged.

095 Nils Davis Your resume should show how amazing you are

In one Linkedin post (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nilsdavis_how-to-keep-the-hiring-manager-reading-activity-7157830230399668225-yLvg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios), Nils Davis showed me how my resume (all of ours) should tell the story I want the hiring manager to know. Primarily that I am the role they are looking for.
Let’s face it, we have 6-10 seconds to get the hiring manager to know we are the one for them.
How?
Redesign our summary section.
Nils suggests the following format:
* I am a …
* I have …
* I have a reputation for …
This seems one heck of a lot better than a summary section with a bullet point list of skills.
Rebel Intrapreneurs are good at positioning themselves in their areas of expertise and selling themselves and their ideas. Nils and I discuss the importance of treating our resume as a sales letter.
