Episode Synopsis


What if getting funded means losing yourself?

Kym Medina is back to discuss the problematic colonial 'classic' Babar the Elephant + what happens when someone else's money changes everything about who you + your business.

We discuss how external funding disconnects you from your roots, how authority based on dazzle rather than competence creates imposter syndrome + the ongoing issue of entrepreneurs giving it all up... just as it gets truly profitable. A working biz, shouldn't be boring.

Look for more Classics episodes where we take books that definitely aren't about business + treat them as though they were biz text books.

Books discussed in this episode:

The Story of Barbar - Jean de Brunhoff

Winnie the Pooh - A. A. Milne

Matilda - Roald Dahl

The Emperor's New Clothes

Mr. Tickle
