The Gift That Keeps On Giving: From Hobby To Startup With Paul Wakim

Transitioning from hobby to startup may be fun, but it’s not always as breezy as it sounds. At the end of the day, you still have to build and run a business, and that comes with the usual side of obstacles and challenges. Paul Wakim has had his share of challenges as the co-founder of TwnSqr, a real estate software company. Before TwnSqr, Paul was exposed to the real estate world through real estate photography. His talent at photographing properties turned into a full-scale business that launched him to full-time entrepreneurship. In this episode, he shares some of the most important lessons he learned over the years as an entrepreneur. He shares how compartmentalization is important, especially when it comes to balancing equally important executive tasks like fundraising and managing business operations. He also explains how he learned the importance of relinquishing control and empowering people to run the business so he can step out as the CEO. All these and more in this short but packed episode.
