Show Notes

At a startup, the founder usually has a big impact on everything to do with the company. 

With that being said, it’s not uncommon to have the founder come in and critique the work being done in every department. They are a part of the culture, character, messaging, vision and so much more that will directly affect the success of the company. 

So, what intrigues people about joining startups compared to established companies?

Unfortunately, many people are sold a dream when they join a startup. They are attracted by promises of untold riches and IPO’s for joining the rocket ship early, but it’s not always as it seems.

After Andrew’s experience being a part of three different startups, in this episode he is going over how to make the most out of the opportunity to meet the founders, and what two important questions you should ask them. 

Tune in to the episode to learn what questions he would ask, and the meaning behind them. 

With the right questions you can easily decide whether you should change your life now for the promise of life changing experiences and riches in the future.
