How to rise from failure

Dawn of a New Era is a weekly business podcast for founders, experts and professionals who want to grow a company without losing themselves in it. Every episode looks at the practical mechanics of scaling — revenue models, marketing, leadership, pricing and positioning — alongside the psychology that decides whether founders follow through.

Episodes are a mix of solo teaching and long-form interviews with founders, investors, authors and specialists. New episodes are published on Thursdays and are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and every major podcast app.
