Listen "The Accidental Founder"
Episode Synopsis
We all hear the stories of visionary founders who had a master plan from day one. But what if the greatest business ideas aren't planned at all? What if they're found by accident? The founders of Slack and Flickr weren't trying to change how we work or share photos—they were trying to build video games that failed spectacularly.In this episode, we explore the incredible stories of "The Accidental Founder." We'll uncover how a simple tool built to solve a personal annoyance can become a million-dollar business, and how the feature you almost deleted can become your flagship product. You'll learn about the power of side projects, the art of the pivot, and the science of serendipity. Is entrepreneurial success less about having a brilliant idea and more about recognizing one when it falls in your lap?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-unfiltered-pivot--6743504/support.
