b"'If you're an entrepreneur, you need to show me evidence that you've gotten in with these customers, and these customers are just chomping at the bit to get what you have, and they can't get it elsewhere. Because these are the companies that break through. If they can get it from a lot of other sources, you're just never gonna grow really fast, you're gonna be a small - maybe if you execute really well - a medium sized company, but you're never going to take the market.'\\n\\nIn this episode, we speak with Steve Hoffman, also known as Captain Hoff.\\n\\nHe\\u2019s a venture investor, serial entrepreneur, award-winning author, and CEO of Founders Space - a global startup accelerator, that\\u2019s been ranked by both Forbes and Entrepreneur magazines as the #1 incubator for overseas startups. \\n\\nUnder his many hats, he\\u2019s constantly leveraging his vast experience to mentor and empower entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the good, bad, and ugly. \\n\\nHe\\u2019s down to earth and has his sleeves rolled up ready to share his knowledge. \\n\\nWe discuss:\\n\\u2022\\tWhat qualities he looks for in entrepreneurs and companies he invests in\\n\\u2022\\tThe importance of surrounding yourself with the right people (this is a clear common theme, so many of our guests emphasize this)\\n\\u2022\\tWhere trust plays into teamwork\\n\\u2022\\tHis unusual career path, led by identifying opportunities and following his passions and interests\\n\\u2022\\tThe power of listening to your heart in decision making\\n\\u2022\\tIdentifying where your talents truly lie\\n\\u2022\\tWhen it\\u2019s time to give up\\n\\u2022\\tHow startups fail by assuming they can create demand, something that Steve says is not possible to do. Steve says truly great entrepreneurs don't focus on \\u201cjust\\u201d building a product, they\\u2019re what he calls demand hunters. \\n\\u2022\\tWhy \\u201chumans as a service\\u201d (consultancies for example) is never a truly scalable type of business\\n\\u2022\\tHow to recruit talents\\n\\u2022\\tHow he navigates stress and anxiety\\n\\u2022\\tAnd much more!\\n\\nEnjoy listening to him!\\n\\nWe\\u2019re excited to be collaborating with the Israeli website CTech, owned by Calcalist - Israel's leading business newspaper.
