The crazy nature of early stage startups (the uncertainty, the doubters, the rejection) can be similar to the forces felt by those who at some point in their lives felt the need to make seismic shifts in their personal worlds. My aim as your host is to bring the raw stories of startup failure and fuckup, alongside the inspirational messages of encouragement, tips and suggestions. Alongside the business chats we will also hear stories from people living interesting and inspirational lives. The podcast is recorded alongside the beautiful ocean beach of Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, but our guests and their experiences will be from around the world. Thanks for your support of the show.
