How a New President Transformed His Company—And Himself
When Magnus stepped into the role of President at Consultwebs, he had the title… but no idea what to actually do.
“I didn’t go to ‘how to be a President’ school. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do from 8 to 5.”
Like so many leaders, he knew his business, he knew his clients—but the role of president was a completely different beast. The result?
Long nights. Constant chaos. No clear direction for himself or his team.
Then he discovered what was actually holding the business back: blind spots.
On today’s episode of The Chris LoCurto Show, you’ll hear how Magnus identified those blind spots, aligned his leadership team, and almost doubled the size of his business, dramatically improved communication, boosted profitability, and even landed on the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S.
And he did it without a “business degree in presidency.”
He did it by changing how he led.

BONUS: Should You Send a Bio With Your Resume?
Leaders ask this all the time.
A resume gives your work history.
A bio highlights your most meaningful wins.
Should you send both?
Yes—if you explain why.
A well-written bio makes you stand out without appearing arrogant, and shows exactly how you’d add value to the business.
