    What is it like to succeed when 290 investors tell you no? - Benjamin Fernandes: CEO of NALA

    What is it like to succeed when 290 investors tell you no? - Benjamin Fernandes: CEO of NALA

    Here I talk with Benjamin Fernandes about how he pitched 290 investors before finally getting into Y Combinator. We also talk about the startup scene in Tanzania compared to Africa as a whole. By the time they got into YC Benjamin had way more traction than most of the other companies in their batch and this has to do with starting the company in Tanzania and focused on the African market.

    What is the hallmark of true mastery? - Jacob Cole: CEO of IdeaFlow

    This is one of the unexpected episodes I record because someone I don't know that well stays in my guestroom. Jacob needed a spot to crash in SF for the night and we have a guestroom. We decided to record this episode and very glad I did because Jacob is on to something with his company IdeaFlow. Listen if you want to understand more about how to be a true master in whatever you want to do.
