This month's episode is with Natalie Riso (@natalieriso), Content Marketer at 500 Startups, 3X LinkedIn Top Voice, and Mover and Shaker in the Marketing/Building Community/Mental Health arena. Natalie understands entrepreneurship because she created her own events startup and at her current role, works with founders on a daily basis. We discuss attributes most successful entrepreneurs possess and Natalie demystifies the entrepreneurship persona (spoiler: not every CEO is Gary V). When talking about entrepreneurship, passion projects and following your passions always seems to come up. Natalie provides guidance to those just getting started in entrepreneurship and wondering how a 9-5 can fit in. As Natalie said "no one gave me permission to start a company," and we can translate that resilience and determination into everything we do personally and professionally. Entrepreneurship Resources Mentioned: Flik, The a16z Podcast, The Twenty Minute VC, Harvard Business Review, and Vox
With most of the world now online, it's no longer just about the big business brands, but rather more about our own personal brands. This is what customers are buying into these days, sometimes even before the business. It's something that's mentioned a lot, but what should we really care about when it comes to personal brand and what else do we need to consider, particularly if we're not the loudest person in the room. To discuss this, I'm joined by Natalie Riso; Content Marketer @ 500 Startups, over 400K followers on LinkedIn & 3x LinkedIn Top Voice. Natalie will share her perspective of personal brand, why we should be focusing on it, tips for those more introverted personalities and how to become more mindful of it, in relation to our mental wellbeing. Natalie will also be sharing her top tips on developing your personal brand, that have led to her huge growth and success through LinkedIn. If you want a fresh perspective on your personal brand, then be sure to tune in.

Natalie Riso defends her college degree and shares how she balanced academia, entrepreneurship, journalism, content creation, and many other endeavours all at once as a student. As such, her significant growth is palpable proof of the indelible learning experiences that can accompany the traditional college path.
