Entrepreneur Perspectives
Founder conversations that skip the highlight reel. What it's actually like to build something — the work, the wait, the parts nobody puts on LinkedIn.
About the show
Entrepreneur Perspectives is a long-running show about the inside of the building process — the boring stretches, the close calls, the decisions you only understand in retrospect. Hosted on the QL network as part of an ongoing collaboration.
Hosts
