Rachel Berick - How to start a business with $600? Learn how MAPTOTE founders climbed to 800+ stores worldwide

2025 Communicator Award of Excellence in the Educational Series category2024 + 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Nominee x 2Named "One of the Best Business Podcasts" by Ramsey In 'How I Built My Small Business,' we explore real-life entrepreneurship and building a meaningful, balanced life.&nbsp; The show’s guests (diverse in industry, experience, and background) open up about the real stories behind building a business: the wins, the mistakes, and the values that shape their choices. This is not a business show focused on the numbers of the game. It’s about the founder’s journey and their way of thinking. If you are looking for a show that talks about top line, bottom line, profit margin, and mainly financial info… this is not the show for you.&nbsp; While you’ll find some episodes in Season One (and sporadically thereafter) that include&nbsp; financials, the host’s interest is more in the human(s) behind the business. Sometimes an episode is a masterclass, other times it’s an honest, heart-opening connection between two people. There’s always curiosity, growth, and learning through storytelling… with a sprinkle of life wisdom. Every guest has started a business at some point in their journey, and the line-up includes a 50/50 split of women and men. Whether you're a founder, dreamer, curious individual or lifelong learner, I hope each episode makes you think or leaves you with at least one spark that inspires your own path or broadens your perspective. Thank you for listening. Let’s learn together.
