Matt BarnettA British industrial designer & artist, moved to Australia he decided to get his MBA. He fell for tech and found himself starting different businesses. Although he failed at some, failure did not stop him from developing what is to be known as Bonjoro.Having to ferry across the rivers of Sydney goint to work, Matt discovered that videos can play a huge role across customer acquisition. With this idea, Matt came up with Bonjoro - a video messaging app that allows you to record one on one personalized video messages for your customers. Bonjoro has snowballed into a startup success story. Matt’s love of building great products is only surpassed by his total commitment to building great business culture, and Matt asserts that Bonjoro’s “customers as friends” culture has been the main driver of the businesses success.More on Matt & BonjoroBonjoro Website (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbjbarnett/)Connect on LinkedIn with Matt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbjbarnett/)Bonjoro on Twitter (https://twitter.com/bonjoroapp)Bonjoro on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bonjoroapp/)ABOUT THE HOSTMy name is Sam Harris.

Many of us have probably experienced this at some point. We can start by figuring out where it comes from and re-framing the way we feel about failure.Set small goals that can help develop your confidence. Learn how to explore and evaluate all possible outcomes rationally and develop contingency plans; and practice thinking positively. By moving forward slowly but steadily, you'll begin to overcome your fear.Don't fear failure. Stay positive, have a backup plan, and learn from whatever happens. It's one way to get to the answer you're looking for and be able to move forward. Start nowWe all have dreams we wouldd like to achieve. Most of these dreams never become more than just a thought. The reason? We don't start or move towards it. Most people tend to delay starting anything, whether it is a business, hobby, diet, relationship, etc. Everyone seems to be afraid of change or the unknown.Planning to start something? Take small steps or come up with small goals and work on it. You'll notice that not only do you get to accomplisg a goal, but it takes you one step closer to your dreamIf you want more in life, you have to go out there and take it.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.
