Executive Talk Ahron Glazer

Entrepreneurship, and or starting a business, definitely has its challenges, but the fear of perfection should not be the reason you don't start.As I’ve seen too many times, entrepreneur-minded individuals are often hesitant or reluctant to kickstart their idea into motion because they can’t launch it at the visionary ideal they built up in their head.They keep seeing the end product and say, “I don’t have the investment to create that…” – where instead, they should be looking at the beginning and say, “I know what I want to build, let me consider my resources, and how can I start with what I have?”The biggest miss we make is not thinking about or knowing what resources we actually have access to when wanting to start something - resources like people, technologies, services, or existing infrastructure...


On this episode, I sit on the other side of the table and discuss my entrepreneurship journey with Podcast host Aaron Katsman. During this conversation we cover the following:


What is entrepreneurship?
The mission of Executive Media Solutions - my marketing firm
The Executive Talk podcast
Why I started the Executive Brand Tees clothing brand
How to grow a business without revenue
The entrepreneurship journey is challenging - but you can do this!
How do you know if you are you an entrepreneur?
You are not alone

So many people are looking for a good job right now… But just the same, they are looking for good companies to work for.

If you're curious about a company’s culture, here’s a quick tip - you can tell a lot about a company just based on its job posting.

Here's how...
You’ll often see a company posting for a particular position. The description is a quick line about the company followed by a rundown of tasks that go into the position.

This is lazy and shows poor concern for a company's brand and culture. - If you have to explain the tasks of a role because you’re not sure the candidates reading the post know what’s involved, they aren’t the right fit at all. - And, these companies have a much harder time retaining good employees because there is little concern for the value add of the individual vs. just finding someone to get the tasks done. Good employees don’t hang out in these places.

A company that cares about its brand and culture will spend a bit more time describing the nature and placement of the position within the company, for example:
* what it’s like to work there,
* who is part of the team,
* how they’ve built to become who they are today,
* what to expect when being onboarded, etc.
* less time listing a job title definition and tasks.

This company will have much higher quality candidates applying which translates into better company growth and individual success.

These are the companies to pay attention to when on the job hunt.
Good luck!!

When you were a kid or young adult and you learned that skill that didn't necessarily become active practice in your adult life - what did you do with it?

Most people just assume it's a useless skill but I would tell you you are wrong.

You don't have access to useless skills, I believe you just never understood how to break down and personalize that skill and apply it to fuel and support your growth in your journey.

What are some of your hidden skills? Have you been able to credit them in your journey somehow?
