NEW SERIES: The Founder’s Journey – Stories of Building, Scaling & Storytelling

We’re launching something new on the storytelling with data podcast! In this special series, we’ll sit down with founders who are building something remarkable—diving into their journeys, lessons learned, and the storytelling strategies that fuel their success.

In this episode, Randy is joined by Doni Priliandi, founder of HappyFive, an employee engagement and performance management platform. Doni’s path is one of persistence, risk-taking, and strategic storytelling. From cold-emailing Google’s Laszlo Bock to hopping on a last-minute flight from Jakarta to Silicon Valley, Doni’s story is filled with bold moves and valuable insights. He shares how being an underdog can be a superpower, why storytelling is crucial for founders, and lessons he’s learned expanding into the U.S. market.
