🎧 Here's my favorite business podcast: How I Built This with Guy Raz 💡 I started listening after enrolling in an Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Startup course at UiS, and I have to admit—I've become a little obsessed with the subject. Just ask my professor Andra Riandita, she knows! 😂 In How I Built This, Guy Raz has casual and fun conversations with founders of iconic brands like Patagonia, Airbnb, Zumba, Kate Spade... I’ve learned about how they came up with their ideas, their humble beginnings, and the challenges they had to overcome before achieving success. With over 677 episodes, I have a lot of fascinating stories I look forward to listening 🤩 I’ve linked my favorite episode so far—a conversation with Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari 🕹 and Chuck E. Cheese 🐭 🍕 Near the end, Guy asks Nolan what advice he’d give his younger self if he could go back in time, and he says: "Some of the bad decisions I've made, I'm not sure that I would like my life to not have had them, and I'm not sure that if I were to give myself advice, and change that trajectory, I would end up where I am right now, and I like where I am." As someone who is shifting careers, this was comforting to hear. I’ve made mistakes in the past, but I like where I am, and I have a good feeling about where I’m headed 🥰 He also shared a tip that really resonated with me: "Stay on the steep part of the learning curve." 💫 If you listen, let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! ☺️ #Entrepreneurship #HowIBuiltThis #Entrepreneurs #Startups #Founders

Starting a business can be a daunting task, but with a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work, it's possible to see success without a heavy financial burden. On the latest episode of The Founding Partner Podcast, hear how a small bakery turned a modest $500 investment into a thriving business in less than a year. Initially, the setup was simple: a few electrical upgrades in a spare bedroom and some savvy financing for essential equipment from Best Buy. This lean approach paid off quickly. Within three months, the demand for delicious baked goods was so high that it was time to expand the team just to keep up. The growth didn't stop there. By the nine-month mark, a unique opportunity arose. Another bakery with a prime downtown location offered to share their space in the evenings. This meant stepping into a brand new facility with zero capital expenditure—just rent to pay. It's a testament to the power of strategic partnerships and being open to unconventional growth paths. To hear the full story of this bakery's remarkable journey and the lessons learned along the way, make sure to listen to the full episode by clicking here https://pbp.li/fpp030. #StartupGrowth #BusinessSuccess #Entrepreneurship #Podcast #TheFoundingPartnerPodcast #BakeryBusiness #SmallBusiness #StartupStory #PartnershipOpportunities #BusinessGrowthStrategy
