When things go wrongâĶ
We, sometimes, blame OTHERS.
At other times, we decide that there is something inherently wrong with us, and hence we will never become successful.
But what if I tell you, that each one of us has a unique unfair advantage, leveraging which will make us successful.
ACTUALLY, rather than me telling you about it, why donât we speak to a couple of gifted entrepreneurs who have tons of related experience and expertise.
OUR GUESTS TODAY:
ASH ALI & HASAN KUBBA who are startup entrepreneurs and the co-authors of an upcoming book called The Unfair Advantage.
ASH'S BIO:
Born to immigrant parents, there was crime and poverty all around Ash in Birmingham. He didnât go to a university either.
BUT Ash became the first marketing director of Just Eat (an online food order & delivery startup).
And his growth hacking and marketing skills were instrumental in growing JustEat which IPOâed at ÂĢ1.5 billion.
HASAN'S BIO:
Hasan built a successful startup from his bedroom with nothing more than an online course and a yearning to escape the corporate ârat raceâ.
They have each spoken at TEDx, advised and mentored hundreds of startups all over the world, and are passionate about spreading the opportunities of startup entrepreneurship.
