OM DETTA AVSNITT
In a world obsessed with $1 billion valuations, authors Wenee Yap-Derricott and Thomas Derricott bring a grounded, gritty, and uniquely Asia-Pacific perspective to the founder's journey. This isn't a lecture on tech, it's a masterclass in Business Reincarnation. We dive into the "Specialist Trap," the "Pyramid of Priorities," and why your physical and emotional work ethic is Australia's greatest global export. If you're a solo entrepreneur feeling the burn, this episode is your map to finding joy in the suffering, and building a business that actually makes money.
