Seth Goldstein & Goldstein Media LLC
▶ WebplayerMost business podcasts interview people who raised a round or sold a company. This one doesn't. Every Tuesday, Seth Goldstein spends twenty minutes or so with a founder or entrepreneur actually running a business. Translators, designers, coaches, agency owners. People who left a job and built something real. Seth was a journalist for six years, so he arrives with a question and gets out of the way.
