Demo track off RajNATION Innovation's upcoming album, Raise UP! -- the first ever rap album about startup life and raising capital.

In this song, I rap from a female perspective, sharing the frustration of being a woman entrepreneur in a man's world. Only 2% of women-owned startups receive outside investments.

Raise UP!

Wake Up, Raise Up

"For the social entrepreneur, or the social enterprise, you are quite often changing behavior. And that is so much different than trying to get someone to buy something that would benefit them."

Beth Bond, Founder of Community Startups, joins us.

S8E9 - Beth Bond: How Can You Be A Social Entrepreneur?

“In the military you have this environment that allows transparency. It allows candor to just run rampant. And there’s a reason for that on so many different levels, it has to take place. For example, if I’m about to jump out of a plane, and I’ve got a guy in front of me who’s about to jump out of a plane, and your job is to check over their parachute and make sure it’s safe. Now if I tap that guy on the shoulder and I say, “Hey, your pack’s messed up”, and he looks over his shoulder and says, “F U man, I got this, I know what I’m doing,” that’s just not the case. But you see that a lot in the workplace where people are just not willing to listen to the people behind them saying ‘you messed up, you need to fix this’.”

Justin Walker, CEO at Halo Group and Executive Director of Bunker Labs, joins us.

S8E11 - Justin Walker: How Do You Transfer Leadership Skills?

"During interviews, of course you’ll get some of those reactions and think ‘Oh I’ve found the right person!’, and then as time goes you learn a bit more about the people you bring into your team. And you find that it’s really challenging. And you don’t really know until you come across an issue or challenge you have to address as a team, and that’s where I find out a lot about (them). Their skills, their ambition, their passion, how they think, how are they going to get out of this situation, what is the next solution, their problem solving, and that’s where you really find the true strength of your team. And how well they can transpire those skill sets across different kinds of challenges, and as a startup there are never-ending challenges."

Lisa Sohanpal, Founder & CEO of Nom Noms World Food, joins us.
