 Michelle Akhidenor

Australia's First BIPOC, Female-Led Founders Podcast. Est 2017.



Hello fellow founder,



Welcome to PEERS - a podcast by millennial founders for millennial founders. Join me, BIPOC female founder & Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister Michelle Akhidenor, for soul-enriching conversations with peers.



Each week, I sit down with a fellow founder or industry ally and deep dive into their entrepreneurial journey. I ask questions like: Where did they grow up? How has their upbringing impacted the choices they've made in their career to-date? How did they end up becoming a founder? How have they navigated through the inevitable challenges in business?



These conversations are honest, vulnerable and above all, human. My mission with this show is simple: to amplify diverse stories and voices; sharing conversations that matter to help fellow founders, my peers, feel less alone on their own journey.



Thank you for joining me, peers. Let's dive in!
