In this episode of The Startups Drive, I sit down with David Kenney — a legend of Australia’s startup scene, mentor, investor, and author of the best-selling book Epic Execution.
We dig into David’s journey and the story behind his book, as he shares insights on founder mindset, building the right team, and truly understanding your market and customer. We also tackle key questions every founder should ask — like what to know before starting, how to connect with your audience, and how to stay open to learning even when you think you’ve got it all figured out. Whether you’re just starting out, scaling up, or simply rethinking your next move, this episode is packed with sharp advice, hard-earned lessons, and honest conversation.
