Happy Holidays!

Today we bring you another episode on the Starting Y Podcast, where we talk about the WHY of Entrepreneurship.

This time Michelle and Joern get together for the Christmas Episode of 2022.

Welcome to the Starting Y Podcast Christmas Episode of 2022! In this edition, Michelle and Joern open up about how the past year — full of startup journeys, entrepreneurship ambitions, and new plans — changed them. They tell tales of woe, joy, risks, and rewards associated with being an entrepreneur while they both had to grapple with familial deaths and additions to their families during this tumultuous time. Surprisingly enough, they also found ways to explore Lisbon’s technology startup scene as well as travel despite the constraints posed by the COVID-19 epidemic. As a result of all these events, 2022 saw new insights into life for both hosts as well as the realization that bigger changes are guaranteed for 2023 with all these experiences behind them.
