Episode 130 of the SG Podcast was a fun one, for me, for 2 key reasons:
I love communities and I love them as a business model as well. They can be really tough to crack initially, but if you can get one off the ground, they can be amazing
Philippe took the intra-preneur route, which means he actually started the “company” within the company he was previously working for (Neo Financial) and it did so well that he pitched/convinced them to let him spin it off into its own company
Super interesting stuff that we covered in more detail on the pod.
