Avery Hooks - Early Stage Founders

About this episode

Avery Hooks discusses his journey as a founder and the challenges he faced in entrepreneurship.

Avery is the founder of 'Early Stage Founders'. A community helping new founders land their first client. Naturally, I had to ask how Avery began in this space and his journey into entrepreneurship. Overcoming a lot of financial pressure after his corporate role disappeared post acquisition, leading to a real sink or swim situation. I regularly speak with Avery on building my own business, glad I got to record this one!
