The Immigrant Entrepreneur

Filip Valicia develops products for underwater robots and many other applications. He has also painstakingly laid out the process for you to develop your product. You can see this process at his website, The Product Startup. He also helps those crowdfunding a product – which is how I discovered his service.

Filip escaped from communist Czechoslovakia, with his mother, when he was six years old.

His fate, as a product developer guru was set into motion, when he was in a Greek refugee camp. One day, he found a discarded toy truck, with a missing back axle.  He found … More

Poverty is a hard place to be. Many of us, perhaps most of us, as we started out in life, lived for years one paycheck away from poverty, with no savings. Yet people do rise out of poverty each day.

According to one my interviewees, poverty is big business.

Immigrant refugees appear every day. A dictator claims more power, an invasion occurs, discrimination grows.  Nations that could do something, do nothing.

When they arrive in that new land, some of them are welcome, some are unwelcome, but mostly they are ignored, left to their own devices – that is to say, they must start making a new foundation, and quickly, where they are.

This episode is dedicated to two refugees among the 120,000 Venezuelans who fled to their neighboring country of Colombia, South … More

Entrepreneurs often spend hours each day working in their home office. Why not enjoy better interior design and make it a positive place! Especially if the design fee is a low, fixed price!

Jaime Gonzalez and his online interior design company, The Man Home (Listen for his discount for you, toward the end of this podcast!)  may be able to help you. Their target market fits the straight-forward business model and pricing: single guys who can use ‘a little help’ in how their apartment looks and feels. (That would probably be about 100% of single guys).
