- Chris Nichols | Entrepreneur Life Hacks #2 | N&D Show
This episode is a recap and analysis of the answers I gathered from the past ten guests for the question: “what is an entrepreneurial life hack against the mainstream belief?” This is the second edition (first edition is episode #29) of providing a shorter and more digestible episode summarizing business advice from various entrepreneurs on the show. I also talk about some of the feedback I have received about the podcast overall and some ideas around how I plan to move forward.
