This weeks stories are connected by tenacity and passion. We look at and celebrate the creativity and contribution of founders - and realise that it has never been more important and more needed.

Entrepreneurs tend not to think linearly. We share some stories about entrepreneurs connecting the dots, and learn that connection is what truly drives people.

This week’s stories are about people. We discover unexpected support from our nearest and dearest, the value of people who think differently, and whether a paperclip can save a whole lot of pain and heartache.

Times are tough and getting tougher. We look at three examples of founders coping with tough times. When do we get cross, and when do we keep our cool? How do you know when to say no? And in the quest for solutions, how do you differentiate salvation from snake-oil?
