  • Who me?? And building in public | Democratising Entrepreneurship, The Knowledge Shop

    This week The Knowledge Shop talks....

    TL,DR;

    Build in public. Yes it's scary. No you won't regret it. MAGIC can happen!

    Want more info, then read below.....

    Who am i? I'm Tori Hanson, a corporate convert turned startup founder, on a mission to democratise entrepreneurship, and breaking every podcast rule as i do it (she says having recorded this from the middle of an open-plan wework office) I don't think I'll be winning any awards for audio quality here.

    I spend a fair bit of time talking about the impact that building in public has had on both my personal and startup journey so far. The more you put out there, the more the world supports you. (I never thought i'd say that, but then it started to happen).

    Lifting the lid on how startups are made, removing the fear and self-editing (let me do that instead), and giving big shout outs along the way to everyone who's helped.

    In case you want to check them out, here are some of the tools, and groups i mentioned, or alluded to Go check them out.

    • Day One - the fab fellowship for early-stage founders and founder wanabe's (i just completed it, and would recommend to everyone).
    • Chief - a community of the most impressive, successful and down to earth women I've ever met.
    • MBA at CASS, City, University of London - a blended programme that's allowed me to study despite the pandemic (although sad i missed the international electives)
    • Women in Leadership - Columbia University - led by the incredible Rita McGrath, empowering women, and helping them see round corners, and recognise inflection points.

      • Any / all questions, contact me [email protected]

    • And so it begins - an overview of what to expect in future episodes | Democratising entrepreneurship | The Knowledge Shop

      The Knowledge Shop - democratising entrepreneurship to help more founders make it. 

      • Founders like you - yes you working 50 hour weeks. 
      • Founders like you, yes you, a full time parent, and 
      • Founders like you - yes you, I see you scared, overwhelmed self-doubting career professional. (that was also me by the way).

        • Want to start a business? Or just started and stuck, moving slowly or struggling with overwhelm, or isolation?

        Recognise you are not alone. That nobody has all the answers, and that thinking about something is much scarier than doing it.

        If this resonates, then follow along (i may regret saying that when things are tough...)
