About this Episode:
In this episode of the Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with Jonathan Littman and Susanna Camp, about the ten different archetypes of the entrepreneur, what each of them brings to the table, and what they each need to watch out for to ensure their success. Susanna and Jonathan share their findings based on the extensive work they have done with successful entrepreneurs around the world, and also discuss many of the concepts from their books, such as the different phases of entrepreneurship.
Whether you are an entrepreneur or have aspirations of starting your own business, or if you want to bring an entrepreneurial spirit into your current job, or even if you are just curious as to what makes entrepreneurs tick, you will find plenty of eye-opening insight in this fascinating episode.
