John Bodrozic co-founded Meridian Systems in 1994 and sold it to Trimble, a public company, for an all cash mid-eight figure deal. Under John’s leadership, Meridian outlasted the dotcom boom that spawned over 200 companies that were also focused on construction management. After leaving Meridian Systems, John co-founded his new startup, HomeZada. Here are some nuggets of wisdom from his interview:


  • Don’t be afraid to fail. Put yourself out there. If you make mistakes; learn from them.

  • Be an avid self-learner. If there’s a skill you need to develop to be successful, take the time to research and learn the skills you need.

  • Get outside of your comfort zone and do the things that need to be done.
