Most business podcasts interview people who raised a round or sold a company. This one doesn't. Every Tuesday, Seth Goldstein spends twenty minutes with someone actually running a business. Translators, designers, coaches, agency owners. People who left a job and built something real. Seth was a journalist for six years, so he arrives with a question and gets out of the way.

    How Taking Your Business on the Road Can Make You a Better Parent (and Entrepreneur) with Eric Dingler

    Eric Dingler is a global marketing strategist who believes that if your business requires you to be in the office, you don’t have a business; you have a high-stress job. After living in 20 countries over the last four years, Eric has mastered the art of "remote-first" leadership and ultra-clear marketing. He’s the creator of the Marketing Momentum Framework and the R.O.D² Team Freedom Framework, designed to help entrepreneurs stop being the bottleneck in their own growth. Eric joins Seth to discuss why hiring "help" is a trap and how to build a team that supports a life of true adventure.
