Walking the Tightrope of Entrepreneurship with David Lowe [Interview]
This is the 50th episode of the #PolyCast! To celebrate let's play a game while you're listening. Count how many times I say "So to speak" in this episode.
Today we are talking with David Lowe the entrepreneurial maverick himself! Founder of Uberpong, and cofounder of Guardia Medical. Host of the Blow It up Podcast , as well as the Amazon best selling book of the same name.
Today is episode 5 of the second season! We are here to talk about Walking the Tightrope of Entrepreneurship!
David is the true embodiment of the American Dream: an immigrant starting a company from scratch and making it a success. Not only does he know this process well, but it's through his passion to share his experiences and help others that makes him the ideal person to write books about startup businesses. Blow It Up is his first book and it quickly achieved Best Seller status on Amazon.
