Announcing the Business Envy Podcast with Actor Greg Grunberg (Heroes, Alias, Star Wars) & Ben Parr
📢 I have a BIG announcement: Today, I am launching a new podcast & show with celebrity, actor, and great human Greg Grunberg (from Heroes, Alias, Felicity, Star Wars VII & IX, and A Star Is Born) called Business Envy!
On Business Envy, Greg and I are going to start a great new business venture together. We are desperate to not screw it up though, so first we are talking with the most successful people in business and Hollywood to glean knowledge from their hard lessons and get their honest advice.
Our first guest is venture capitalist, author, Northwestern professor, early Apple employee and former Redbox exec Mark Achler.
You can listen to the trailer and the first episode here:
Greg and I have wanted to do something like this together for over a decade, ever since we first met. In fact, this is not the first time Greg and I have tried to start a business together — it’s a story we will dive deeper into throughout the show.
Our guests will range from celebrities who have started successful businesses to incredible founders with multi-million (or billion) dollar exits to the world’s smartest investors and business leaders.
You will be seeing some big names on the show in the coming months!
Our mission for Business Envy is to use our journey to help demystify the many topics that are top-of-mind for the millions of entrepreneurs and businesspeople around the world.
