This month's episode is with Natalie Riso (@natalieriso), Content Marketer at 500 Startups, 3X LinkedIn Top Voice, and Mover and Shaker in the Marketing/Building Community/Mental Health arena. Natalie understands entrepreneurship because she created her own events startup and at her current role, works with founders on a daily basis. We discuss attributes most successful entrepreneurs possess and Natalie demystifies the entrepreneurship persona (spoiler: not every CEO is Gary V). When talking about entrepreneurship, passion projects and following your passions always seems to come up. Natalie provides guidance to those just getting started in entrepreneurship and wondering how a 9-5 can fit in. As Natalie said "no one gave me permission to start a company," and we can translate that resilience and determination into everything we do personally and professionally.
