Episode notes

Eofammout is an online community for home remodels. It has more than two million users and was founded by Israeli-American Amos Shmuley Boteach. He says he's worried that other people will copy his idea if they don't have the money to do it full time. 'If you're not going to raise money, somebody else will realize what you're doing'

When Adi Tartako and her husband started the home design and renovation website Houzz in 2009, they had no expectation that it would grow into a global business. In fact, Adi was a hesitant entrepreneur, preferring to foster Houzz as a lifestyle business and pushing back when experts told her it could grow into something much bigger. But as Houzz morphed into a go-to site for users to get ideas for home improvement and connect with industry professionals, Adi decided to go all-in. She walked away from a promising career in finance to become the CEO of Houzz, helping lead it to a platform that now has 65 million users worldwide.
