#1650 How a corporate soldier left behind a sexy job title to create a content platform
Summary: Joining me today is someone who’s built a successful company but how he got there is a little atypical. He was a corporate soldier at MTV and was really proud of his job and the title that came with it. But a mid-life crisis at age 37 caused him to cross over into entrepreneurship. Shaul Olmert is the co-founder of Playbuzz, a storytelling platform used by publishers. The old idea of publishing plain text on a website is old news. Quizzes are what turns traffic into engagement and engagement into something viral. I’ll ask him how he did and what happened when he was 37 that changed everything. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/playbuzz-with-shaul-olmert/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/playbuzz-with-shaul-olmert/?get-twitter-card=true&" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Shaul Olmert is the co-founder of Playbuzz, a storytelling platform used by publishers.</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.Regus.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">Regus</a> has built an unparalleled network of office, co-working and meeting spaces for companies to use in every city in the world, an infrastructure to support every business opportunity.</p> <p>Their network of workspaces enables businesses to operate anywhere, without the need for set-up costs or capital investment.
