Episode Synopsis

“I’d rather lose business than work with people who don’t share my values.”In this episode, we talked about why an entrepreneurial journey is not just about business, but about staying true to yourself, choosing independence over comfort, and building companies that feel like real human communities, in particular:👉 The importance of choosing people with shared values over short-term profit.👉 How passion and intelligence are the only real hiring criteria.👉 Why happiness and freedom are the ultimate measures of success.Join Marc Clemens, a true entrepreneur who’s been reshaping the way we work for over a decade, from launching a curated online wine shop early in his career to now building 9am, a platform that simplifies freelancers' lives, and who, as a co-founder of Europe's first conference for freelancers Freelance Unlocked, is on a mission to drive the Freelance Revolution worldwide, in uncovering the human side of successful business! 🤗🤩😎Connect with Marc and Yurii on Linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcclemens/https://www.linkedin.com/in/yurii-lazaruk-community-consultant/Timestamps:(00:00) Meet Marc Clemens(01:17) From Reggae DJ to Entrepreneur(03:45) The Freelance Revolution(06:55) Building a Passionate Team(11:11) Navigating Business Relationships(14:50) Personal Reflections and Core Identity(16:30) Balancing Friendship and Professional Life(17:02) Dealing with Uncertainty(18:30) The Importance of Honest Feedback(21:05) Maintaining Optimism and Passion(23:48) Knowing When to Pivot or Exit(27:10) Defining Success Beyond Financial Metrics(27:41) Balancing Work and Personal Life#HumansOfBusiness #HoB #humans #business
