The Rim Break Business Podcast

When I stumbled upon Ashoka in the book "How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas" by David Bornstein, I was curious. I wanted to learn more about it because I'm game for all things entrepreneurship. In this episode we learn about; how a Venture Capital (VC) works, what a social entrepreneur is, and how Ashoka funds these "social entrepreneurs." Curious about any of these topics? If so, I'd suggest giving this episode a listen!

In the early 2000's, Piracy was at its peak. Many users used file sharing sites like Napster, The Pirate Bay and many others to share stolen music. This caused the music industry to lose billions of dollars in revenue each year. So in 2006, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon went out to solve this problem of piracy to help fairly compensate artists and record labels for their work. And thus Spotify was born!

The Chicobag Company has the classic entrepreneurial story. Seeing a problem and solving it. In this case Andy Keller, the inventor and founder of ChicoBags did exactly that. He went to his local dump site and was disgusted but the amount of plastic bags being blown around, getting stuck in fences, in puddles, etc. Learn how Chicobags solved this problem and are pushing towards using reusable products and a more sustainable environment!

Today, as technology progresses, we are spending more and more time in front of screens. Some people work in front of a screen for 8-12 hours a day and at the end of the day they might choose to relax by watching some TV. Yet again... another screen. But we don't realize that we may be hunching over too far forward and that might be causing some back pain for many. And here to help is the Upright Go! This small device simply sticks on to your upper back and when you hunch over, it gently vibrates to signal that you need to sit up. Learn more about why the Upright Go was created by tuning into the podcast!
