10th Degree Podcast
Business & Economics Podcasts
I’m a middle of the road entrepreneur. I’ve had some successes, and messed up almost as often. What really drives me is trying to find out how I can do this better. In each episode of the 10th Degree I'll dive in to a particular topic with someone who knows the subject inside out, to find out the practical steps anyone starting out or scaling a business should do to get on. Our guests are not house hold names, and I won’t be focusing on their back story. This is not about abstract concepts or personal achievements. It’s about discovering exactly what you should do, right now to improve your business.
