Games with Entrepreneurs with Steve P. Young
16 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago -This is my attempt at bringing more fun and comedy into the dry business world.
What is up? I'm Steve Young not that Steve Young hence the Steve P. Young. He played football, I played badminton. He's tall, I'm short. He's handsome, I'm okay looking (but handsome for an Asian).
I love talking to people especially entrepreneurs. I love hearing stories of how they grew up and what made them become an entrepreneur.
And I love playing games. I'm tired of listening to the same old business podcast about marketing, growing a business, etc.
Business is fun, so let's have some fun!
