"Going Solo" - Entrepreneurship as a Career Direction
Our special guest, Mike O'Krent used to interview survivors of the Holocaust for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. This led him to the idea of creating his business, LifeStories Alive, in which he films interviews with members of families and creates legacy documentaries for them. He is a big believer in bootstrapping your own business and has some great advice on keeping your momentum and perspective while starting up. If the idea has ever crossed your mind that entrepreneurship is a possible career direction for you, this is a show you won't want to miss!
