How to harness your entrepreneurial mindset to succeed at any task, on any team, in any organization, or to start your own business. On this episode of The Man Versus Brand podcast, we speak with the Co-Founder & Creator of Tweva (tweva), the world's first social TV network for small businesses and influencers, entrepreneur David Van Beekum. David is a man of many talents. He is a digital marketing guru, start-up enthusiast, and tech expert. Dave is the best person to discuss how we can best. Despite being more of an introvert, Dave has been a driving force behind Tweva's success, working tirelessly on software development, databases, automation, 3D printing, robots, and AI. Introverts aren't the typical prototype for what we think about who can be entrepreneurs. Dave's story is more like yours and mine and less like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and other megastar entrepreneurs. Yet, we can still incrementally get there. After the death of one of the co-founders, Dave realized it was time to step out of his comfort zone and share his wealth of knowledge with others. David became an entrepreneur due to circumstances. He found a problem that he needed to solve. Balancing the challenges of running a start-up with a family, Dave is currently focused on securing a 2.2 million dollar investment for Tweva while driving traction with local businesses on the platform. It's a tricky balancing act, but Dave's passion for helping small businesses succeed is unwavering. This episode is for small business owners, inventors, leaders, and entrepreneurs. Tune in to hear about his experiences, insights, and advice for anyone looking to succeed in start-ups and small businesses.


Quote of the Episode:" There's a thing in the VC world, if you want money, ask for help, and if you want help, ask for money, because everyone wants to give you that opinion when you want money." Dave on Venture Capital Investment
