Josh Pies' Bootstrapped Unicorns
Bootstrapped Unicorns is dedicated to examining the Journey of Entrepreneurship. Interviews of entrepreneurs – finding out their back story, how they discovered their business, and how they overcame the challenges they faced, will help you – our viewers, friends, and peers – move forward with confidence. Josh Pies (Host, Hippie Capitalist, and Exec Producer at C47Films.com), is a serial entrepreneur and guy who has hit both good and hard times. He never gives up and neither should you. What has fueled his ability to bounce back and champion adversity is a clear understanding that learning from the example of others is the best way to move forward with confidence. That is the purpose of this podcast - Your Success fueled by actionable, inspirational intel from the greats who have come before us. Napoleon Hill's famous text 'Think And Grow Rich" was purportedly a study of the richest men in business and how they operated. Hill's famous work by example, as well as via the infamous concept of "The Mastermind", supports the notion that learning from peers who have relevant experiences is precisely the right decision to help entrepreneurs overcome and achieve. The words Bootstrapped and Unicorn are jargon terms in the world of entrepreneurs but they are familiar and paint an excellent picture of what the journey is like and the end destination is for many of us. We bootstrap. We work hard, sweat lots, and win the hard way by nature. We also strive to become the unicorn of our industry. Our show is a celebration and exploration of what it means to bootstrap our way to success and what it means to become a unicorn. Join us by subscribing today.
