Interview with The Extrovert | Greg Schramm

He's no energy vampire: Greg Schramm shares how self-awareness and listening to introverts has improved his life and career
1

In this episode of Powerful Introvert we interview our first, live extrovert!

Greg Schramm, a Product Manager and owner of a small-batch coffee roaster Bud’s Coffee is a garrulous extrovert—testing ENTJ (J for Judgmental) on his Meyers-Briggs for years. But a career spent working with introverted engineers and listening to customers has so shaped his outlook, a recent test scored him ENTP (P for Prospecting). In other words, he traded his J attitude, pushing his own ideas first, for a more listening, collaborative P approach that makes room for everyone’s voice. This shift has made him more effective a work, and improved his personal life.

Schramm also shares his entertaining journey from high school, when a fateful parental discussion landed him in the Navy, some dramatic work lessons that highlight the best ways to motivate people, places where being an extrovert do help him, and his recent experience landing a tech job in this economy.
