I wanted to warn you!  This post is all about me (Alan).  Which is not my most comfortable thing to write or talk about.  I much prefer to talk about business, learning or finance!  But I think there will be some value here for you from how I approach and think about things that you can apply to your world!

PopUp Podcast - Entrepreneurship

6/11/2019

 
Another podcast on Entrepreneurship? Is there a need for one? Do we need more advice on how to start a business? 

I started PopUp 7 years ago with Simon Paine because I felt that the advice out there in the world was not only poor but at times misleading!

Things have gotten better; with books on how to start up with little money, podcasts about innovative entrepreneurship methods and lots more blogs on the subject.  But the general advice about how to start a business from banks, universities and other traditional institutions still sucks. 

I have been thinking about starting a podcast for years.  Maybe now is the time?  Maybe you would like to be involved? Maybe we really can change the way entrepreneurship is taught and have an impact on the world?

The Magic of putting yourself out there!

4/11/2019

 
What happens when you put yourself out into the world? How will the world react? Why don't more people do it?

Two weeks ago whilst in Portugal in the Douro Valley at an Airbnb with a piano, Katie (my wife) sat down and started playing a new tune.  
She composed a brand new song which she played daily for all of us staying there.  She had the idea to record the song and put it out onto YouTube for other people to listen to. When we got home she studied articles and YouTube videos about how to record your music and get it onto YouTube.  We designed some cover art and put it out into the world last week.  You can listen to the music whilst reading the article by clicking on it above!

But why should you care?  Katie recorded something, put it out there and then what? There is Magic and Power in putting yourself out into the world but people don't do it.  Why not?
