The Drunken Walk explores the personal narratives of inspiring media entrepreneurs, unpacking the messiness of what it takes to build something from scratch. Success doesn’t happen because of a perfect plan. Hypothesis-testing, action, learnings, and adjustments are all a necessary part of innovation. And sometimes the dead-ends and changes of direction don’t make sense until viewed in retrospect, as a “drunken walk” full of highs and lows.
