How I Started ... A New Interview Series

Over the past two years on the HTE podcast, we have interviewed 325+ entrepreneurs.

In these conversations, we dig deep into the entrepreneurial mindset -- how these entrepreneurs think about starting a business, dealing with failure, and how they decide what project they should spend their time, energy, and resources on.

Mindset is key, but it isn't necessarily actionable. You need to know what to do next.

To fulfill this need, we’ve created a new interview series called How I Started …

How I Started … is a text based interview designed to answer how the business went from idea to getting its first customer, hiring their first employee to tools they use every day to grow the business.

Let's jump into it and see how these entrepreneurs started their businesses.
