Taking Big Creative Bets & Trusting Your Vision with RajNATION (Founder, Startup Hypeman)


Listen Later

RajNATION is one of the most interesting creators and entrepreneurs I know. He’s a B2B marketing and messaging advisor, MMA announcer, and rapper. 

Raj is also a speaker, podcast host, yogi, and founder. The through-line in all of his passions and experiences? Storytelling. He started Startup Hypeman in 2016 to help founders and revenue leaders create pitches that go from confused looks to cashed checks. Raj is a storyteller at his core, a professional who is known for his creativity and genuine authenticity. He has mastered combining passions with business. For example, he released an album (GOAT to Market) that resonated with more than his immediate tech community, blending music, tech, and storytelling, resulting in starting a movement for incorporating this creative content into the services he offers. In our conversation, you’ll hear:

  • How to be known for your authenticity and creativity
  • Strategies for combining and monetizing your passions
  • And how to maintain your creativity and confidence when betting on yourself
