Entrepreneur Tools #6 – How to Start Thinking About Your Corporate Culture
You, as a founder will impact the culture, which than becomes a brand. Michelle Tsing, Entrepreneur, Investor, Mentor, Podcast/Radio Host
Entrepreneur Tools
This is a new series, within Startuprad.io's YouTube Blog. We meet a lot of people and of course, we talk with some of them about the typical entrepreneur problems. Sometimes an entrepreneur solves known problems in a very systematic way, which we find great, or has great insights. In both cases, we will talk to him or her and bring you these recordings as entrepreneur tools.
We are looking forward to your feedback.
I learned that humans are basically good. Michelle Tsing, Entrepreneur, Investor, Mentor, Podcast/Radio Host
