Matt Barnett and Pualena discuss all things entrepreneurship in this episode, from growing a team of people who fit with your brand to connecting with customers to make them lifelong advocates. Matt shares how important it is to find creative fulfillment outside of work and explores the competitive edge that creatives have in the world of business.
Matt shares gems of wisdom from his successes and failures in software start-ups, such as how everyone in business makes the same mistakes, how growing a team is one of the hardest things you can do in business, and how investing in the small things, such as our customers (or bees!) can change the world. Mistakes are to be expected; it’s how we rebound and learn from them that determines how successful we’ll be.
