Startup Lessons Over Coffee
After getting back from our trip to SF for the ad-tech conference, it felt like we might be on to something.
Getting startup founders and entrepreneurs to share their story with us has been a great success! Since everyone wins from the education, exposure and networking, it almost comes naturally.
With the last two weeks of the internet startup podcast under my belt, I'm here to report on my progress as a student of internet entrepreneurship. I've realized that there's always more to learn.
I'll be brief and let you dig into the material yourself, but I want to reflect on the great conversations that we've had with amazing entrepreneurs around the world!
So far I've been impressed by everyone we talk to, and am only limited by my own questions and interviewing skills. This has surpassed my expectations for what the Smoking Hot Coffee podcast could be as a channel for the startup community.
I learned about topics from fundraising in LA, to guest blog posts, targeted email marketing, digital identity, connecting saas solutions, ad retargeting, and even how to handle a failed startup. I'm still trying to digest it all and make sure that I'm doing my best.
While our audience isn't huge yet, my feeling is that I'm not the only one who learned something from the past 10 episodes, and I hope other entrepreneurs find the lessons educational and encouraging. However, you can expect us to be applying what we've learned to our show, hopefully bringing it to a large enough audience that we aren't wasting this great content.
Look forward to an evolution of SmokingHotCoffee.com with even more ways to stay updated and engage with the startup community. Until then, you can subscribe through the usual channels. If you learn something, please share it with your colleagues. Otherwise, let me know how I can do better!
