Interview Q&A with Troy Caruso
What are your favorite books and films?
When I have the time to read a good book, I like to read the new business books or re-read books I’ve read before. My favorite book is “The Men, The Mission and Me” by Pete Blaber, which is based on military concepts, but some of the lessons also apply for anyone in leadership positions. What I have learned from reading is to always listen to the person on the ground. At Radium2 Capital, we focus on paying attention to the needs of our clients and listening to their opinions so that we are aware of the challenges they are facing. My favorite film is Gladiator because it’s very entertaining. I love Russel Crowe’s character. Raging Bull is a close second.
What’s the best career advice you’ve received?
I was once told that business ideas are worth nothing and that it takes the right team and business strategy to become successful. Execution is very important and many entrepreneurs get this wrong. You need to act on an idea to get it running and then figure out the rest later.
What do you love most about working in your industry?
I love helping small businesses get off the ground. Funding can be tough to come by and not all companies are built from scratch. Many of them require some assistance. I also enjoy reaching out to businesses that we’ve helped in the past and catching up with them to see how they are doing. Seeing successful clients that have been able to meet their goals reassures me that we’re doing good thing at Radium2 Capital.
What motivates you every day?
Radium2 Capital aims to be at the forefront of helping businesses in need. Whether it’s our clients, the families of our employees or the larger community around us, I try to share the importance of giving back to those that have helped us get where we are today. My motivation comes from seeing someone smile whom we’ve helped out. I never take anything for granted and I make it a habit to be grateful for everything that our company has accomplished.
