The Happy Entrepreneur podcast

The Happy Entrepreneur

This podcast is a collection of stories and experiences to help entrepreneurs trying to navigate a new way of entrepreneurship. It isn’t just about the tactics and the strategies but also about the inner experience of being in business. I’m not here to give you any answers but to provoke you to look harder for the answers yourself. By sharing new insights and ideas with you we hope you’ll be inspired to look inside yourself to find out what’s really getting in the way. While you have the knowledge to take your work to another level maybe what’s stopping you is a lack of self inquiry.
