Leadingtheway - Ep01

Another candid episode about lessons I learned in my entrepreneurial journey. Here is the advice that I wish I had when I was starting out first time. In this episode, I talk about
- Counterintuitive things to do before you start
- Money and entrepreneurship, my favourite topic
- What I think of the current start-up ecosystem

Next episode coming in 2 weeks' time, where I will be talking about co-founders! Do you need them, how to find them and as always, my personal experience with co-founders I had.

Leading the way

Ep02 - 5 things you need to do before starting a company

In this podcast episode, we are diving into an unavoidable part of the startup world: co-founders.

In this energetic and peppery episode, we will talk about:

- should you even have a co-founder
- who makes a good co-founder
- how to find a well-matched co-founder
- what happens when the co-founders' relationship doesn't work
- what kind of co-founders our host wouldn't choose (but you might)

As usual, there will be plenty of real-world examples and personal stories. Maybe even a bit of drama...

We hope you enjoy this episode and that you find it insightful and entertaining. If you like it, we would appreciate it if you recommend it and share it with your network.

Ep03

Welcome to the fourth episode of Leading the Way! 

In this one, I'm even more honest and straightforward than in any previous episodes.

Talking about mistakes is tough. It reminds us of the time when we failed and had to face unpleasant consequences. But, I'm a firm believer that we learn the most from our failures. With every mistake we make we are wiser, better, and stronger. In this outspoken episode, I talk about:

why hiring mistakes are so dangerous in a startup
is it even feasible to scale up so quickly
why is it a bad idea to make yourself indispensable
consequences of losing sight of company finances
and a few other mistakes I made along the way
These are neither absolute truth nor all mistakes I made - different leaders might make different mistakes. But, I do believe we should speak more often and be more frank about it!
