  8. EPISODE 1 TRAILER

    Welcome to the No Nerds No Problem Podcast - 0x01

    Building a startup as a non-technical founder is like playing on hard mode. You've got no shortage of Vision. But you can't build that Vision yourself. Getting it built means entering into the world of Nerds. As someone who doesn't speak the language of Tech, interfacing with that world can be exhausting. You can spend hours digesting the jargon, the buzzwords, the endless list of frameworks, platforms, and providers. That's time you could spend doing what matters most to any founder: Growing your business. No Nerds No Problem helps you close that gap and get back to doing what you do best. Each week, I'll be speaking with experts from all over the startup ecosystem, diving deep on the topics most relevant to you, the non-technical founder. I'll chat with investors, consultants, and other founders just like you, bringing you the advice you need to be able to confidently say: "No Nerds? No Problem."
