Natalie Dawson, co-founder and president of Cardone Ventures, sparked fierce debate after publicly defending her decision to immediately fire two employees who were having an affair whilst both were in relationships with other partners outside the company. Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Dawson said the decision was instantaneous and she has no regrets, despite receiving substantial criticism online.
'As soon as I caught wind of it, it wasn't even like a split second decision', Dawson told host Steven Bartlett. 'I can't have this in my environment, especially somebody close around me'.
