Stories about entrepreneurship.
But with a point! Each episode corresponds with a learning objective from the course. Like a mini textbook or case study that stands on its own. The podcast catalog is designed like a Wikipedia page. You can scan the episode titles (below) and get the gist of the message, and if you see something interesting you can click and go deeper.
This is a podcast for beginners who catch on quickly.

- You’re smart and driven, but don’t know exactly where to start building your company. It’s easy to make this seem complicated, but trust me that it’s not. The key is to focus on one thing at a time and pick the right thing.
