À PROPOS DE CE PODCAST 🔗
Every week, I share a folk tale from Africa, Asia, or the Americas - and extract the business lesson hidden inside.
I'm Maxima, founder of Livara, Stanford MBA student, and a storyteller who believes the best business advice doesn't come from case studies. It comes from civilizations that survived thousands of years.
Each episode brings you:
• One ancient story, told with humor and heart
• The wisdom our ancestors knew (that we forgot)
• How it applies to building businesses, raising families, and living well
This is for entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone building something that matters.
New episodes every Wednesday.
