The episode was recorded in the summer of 2021, which means the factual information mentioned has been updated since.
On a more technical note, most of my interviews are on the go, which means I have a very limited ability to minimize disruptions and background noises.
Also, I’d like to mention that English is my second language, however, I am attempting to express myself to my best ability and hope you’ll empathize with the little mistakes, such as misspelling, mispronunciation, and stammering among others.
Furthermore, the goal of the podcast is to initiate a general conversation within the field of entrepreneurship, which means I will present my own biases, agree and disagree with the guest during a discussion, and it also means that whatever I say is an exploration of my personal opinion, and I invite you to form your own.
Finally, I am on track to learning how to create the best episode I can, which means trial and error, and I’d ask for compassion on how unpolished certain aspects of the episode can be.
