Listen "S8 Ep48: What makes a successful entrepreneur?"
Episode Synopsis
                            We are up to our necks in advice about how to innovate in business, how to succeed as a founder, or how to spot a great startup. Blogs, YouTube channels and airport bookshops claim to reveal the secret. And yet, investors and incubators have a very patchy track record in picking winners. 
What if there was a better way to spot entrepreneurs who are more likely to succeed? Konrad Stahl of University of Mannheim is one of a team of researchers who have found one indicator of success that dominates all the others. He tells Tim Phillips what it is, and why it matters.
