Rand Fishkin, the founder and former CEO of Moz, tells the secrets and tricks about how traditional Silicon Valley "wisdom" leads far too many companies to struggle. Did you know only 5% of startup businesses make it?  95% of startups fail, lose money, and never succeed. But if you read any book about Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs will glamorize the highs and ignore the lows.  I hate the word hustle and grind, and it's refreshing to see people like Rand tell the truth about how startups can actually succeed.

A Painfully Honest Field Guide to Launching a Business

I am Ryan Williams. My life is divided into two life spans: Before Mushrooms (BM), and After Mushrooms (AM).

Nerv, a mushroom inspired podcast, dedicated to the environment and sharing the stories of Mother Earth's flora, fungal, and fauna. Nerv branches out from the mycelium network to create and publish fungi and ecologically inspired conversations with mycologists, environmentalists, and people partnering with fungi to heal the earth.

Fungi are touching every aspect of society from politics to food to medicine to pop culture and we're here to discuss how humans are evolving with the fungal queendom.

Who is Ryan?
Ryan Williams is an environmentalist, mycologist, breathworker, and fungal storyteller. He's the founder of Nerv. After working in social media for Disney, gaming at Machinima, and with tech startups to help spread their stories, he now uses his skills to further his mission: building a fungi, environmental, and ecologically inspired media company.

He is certified to teach breathwork, yoga nidra, yin yoga and meditation. His first book, The Influencer Economy: How to Launch Your Idea, Share it with the World, and Thrive in the Digital Age detailed the rise of social media influencers. You can connect with him at nerv.earth.

Feel free to subscribe to the Nerv with Ryan Williams for mycology conversations, insights around healing Mother Earth, and mushroom chats. You can follow the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.
