Facing rejection when starting a new venture - #0001, Yoel Israel
Starting a new media venture can be daunting, especially since the results are published online for the world to see.
Of course, we all know that more often than not it is because the world does *not* see what is published. And it’s easy to be discouraged when your content is getting lost in the forest of creators.
I’ve been interested in this for a while; I purchased my microphone in 2019 intending to start a podcast - truthfully, that would have been the best time to do it right before a pandemic! Fate had other plans and it sat in my office collecting dust for a few more years.
2025 and things are different. Over the years I have built a strong network of founders, personalities, tech experts, and friends who have been instrumental in forming this new media landscape. And with everything going on in the world, now truly is the best time to jump in.
But it’s scary! Of course it is. To learn more about this process I spoke to Yoel Israel, the Founder and CEO of Wadidigital and founder of IsraelTech, an online show where innovators, VCs, and personalities all gather to share news from Israel’s tech community.
He’s already been in the game for a year and the chances are you’ve seen his content in your Instagram, X, or LinkedIn feeds.
Here are some of the things we spoke about:
* Taking the plunge to follow a passion
* Gamifying rejection
* Identifying tipping points
* Supporting the Israeli tech ecosystem online
* The future of media
* … and my own technical difficulties!
At the end, I battled a technical issue that I left in the show for two reasons: First, I needed a sign-off for the episode. But more important than that, I wanted to show the viewer at home the messy process this can take. Yes, there will be mistakes, but I hope over time to get more experience and help tell stories around the world.
I invite you to please tune in to the first episode and follow IsraelTech for more news.
