Who is an "intropreneur"?
An intropreneur is an entrepreneur or intrapreneur who introspects their way to knowingness. They examine their own thoughts and feelings in a manner that propels them forward, to achieve their goals. They are intelligent individuals who are knowledgeable.
Why did I start this podcast?
I started this as I wanted people to understand the importance of learning from the best authors and leaders through the best books. I wanted them to learn how entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs around us, managed to achieve their goals by learning from the best. I wanted people to understand how others introspect. I wanted people to be further inspired to make the changes needed to meet their goals. I wanted to speak to intropreneurs to help others become intropreneurs.
The Series
In Series 1, I summarised learnings from the books myself.
In Series 2, 1 Entrepreneur or Intrapreneur each episode will discuss the one book that has impacted them.
In Series 3, I speak to Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs on the best and worst decisions they have ever made.
I'm taking feedback as I go along with these podcasts so that I can continuously tweak them for you, so don't hesitate to drop me a note.
