CONVERSATIONS ON CLIMATE

In the final episode of season three of the Conversations on Climate podcast, Chris Caldwell sits down with John Mullins, Associate Professor of Management Practice in Marketing and Entrepreneurship at London Business School, to explore the realities of entrepreneurship.    Together, they dive into thought-provoking topics like whether society is overselling the entrepreneurial dream, the myths surrounding venture capital, and how entrepreneurs can create meaningful impact in today’s world.   "For entrepreneurs who want to make an impact on the climate challenges we face today? I think my advice to them would be, don't worry about trying to solve the entire climate. … rather carve out some little piece of that where you bring the skills and insights to that piece of the problem that you think you have a, technology or a business model or some other approach that can solve that piece of the problem if if we have a thousand entrepreneurs, each solving a little part of the problem we'll make a lot of progress."   This engaging conversation unveils six key entrepreneurial mindsets, shares actionable insights for navigating challenges, and offers strategies to help entrepreneurs focus on solving real problems. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a business leader, or simply curious about the entrepreneurial journey, this episode provides invaluable wisdom straight from one of the industry’s top minds.   Don’t miss this compelling finale to season three!
