- Business
Entrepreneurship is complicated. So the show is simple. In each episode, we focus on one practical aspect of the day-to-day experience of being an early-stage startup founder, particularly in the Midwest. We cover everything from go-to-market strategies and marketing execution to mental resilience and mentorship.
Each week, we speak with an "entrepreneurial resource, " such as an experienced founder, investor, or other professional, who provides perspective on the topic of the day, and a founder of an early-stage startup, who pitches his or her company and offers practical guidance.
