Thanks everyone for tuning in, episode 34 of the show – I have to say, I am a bit exhausted – I slept in a Chinese hospital 4 nights last weekend as my wife had early pregnancy false alarm….that is a blog post in itself coming soon – life is definitely an adventure and we need to embrace it – that’s all I’ll say there.
So today’s episode goes into the startup world again, but I truly believe this can be applied to all businesses – Paul Orlando, is extremely passionate about this global movement where small pocket communities of entrepreneurs and business people can gather together to build a great support network. He shares his insights in Hong Kong, as well as for all those other communities where entrepreneurs may get a bit lonely working alone on their projects. So let’s dive in!
