Podcast Trailer (1 min)

The journey of podcasting is one of discovery. I started this because I wanted to interview social enterprises looking to build high-growth businesses and learn what helps these companies be successful.

After 4 episodes, thanks to the generosity of the founders willing to take their time, we’ve already learned so much — in this post and quick bonus podcast, we’ll summarize what we’ve learned.

We’ll let the founders guide us. So if you want, check out each of the previous posts for all of the details:

• 🎙️ Podcast Ep#1: Nova Credit CEO Misha Esipov
• 🎙️ Podcast Ep #2: Ride Health CEO Imran Cronk
• 🎙️ Podcast Ep #3: Shelf Engine CEO Stefan Kalb
• 🎙️ Podcast Ep #4: Copia CEO Komal Ahmad

Now, to summarize the sage advice from these founders, we attempted to boil it down into 5 key insights in less than 5 minutes.

For the full lowdown in speaking form, click below for the podcast, or scroll down for the highlights of these key points in written form (full details in the episode 😀).

Listen to the Bonus Episode

1. No one ever is fully confident they will be successful when they start their company, but the hunger for solving the problem can carry you through.
2. Set a strong mission-driven culture to attract the best talent and filter for people motivated by the same calling.
3. Doing good without a growth mechanism and sound business principles and business model isn’t sustainable.
4. Create a product or service that makes a difference along the way because even if it doesn’t work out, you won’t regret the journey.
5. We all live within the constraints of the systems we inhabit, but can create lasting change if we dare to try something new. Time waits for no one, so get started today.

We’re just getting started here and have some exciting founders coming up, but if any of these lessons are interesting, subscribe to the podcast to hear it from the founders themselves and draw your own conclusions — would love to hear them!
