As Told By Nomads

Today's episode of As Told By Nomads is a special one as it is with cross cultural expert Andy Molinsky. Many of you will remember him from Episode 77 when he discussed Global Dexterity. Today's episode is the first part of a ten episode series highlighting the cultural codes of 10 countries. According to Andy: Most of us collaborate with teams across borders and cultures on a regular basis, whether we spend our time in the office or out on the road. And when we do, it’s essential to have a quick sense of the “code” of the new culture we’re operating in.

Did you know statistics* show that women are more successful than men in startups, but fewer of them opt to "startup". Author and entrepreneur Danielle Tate wants to change that. As a young female founder, Danielle noticed that few business guides offer step-by-step advice to smart but inexperienced women. Filling this void inspired her to write the book that she wished was available when she founded her first company, MissNowMrs.com. “Elegant Entrepreneur” is a female founder’s guide to growing a company from idea to exit. It answers the important question: how do you make an idea produce money? It also discusses how to transform yourself into an entrepreneur and how that process feels– regardless of whether you have a business background or entrepreneurial ties. Danielle’s mission is to lower the barrier to entry and success for future women entrepreneurs. As a female founder and entrepreneur herself, she offers insightful and pertinent knowledge and experiences of entrepreneurship and launching her...
