Almost every entrepreneur experiences both failure and success - and every serial entrepreneur has stories of both to share when looking back at their careers.
Jan and Adam Fichman are a father and son duo of self-made serial entrepreneurs. Jan founded the 7th Heaven record store in Kansas City, while Adam founded the first company that made it possible to send a video from the internet to a cell phone. He now runs Lifted Logic, a web design firm.
Today, Jan and Adam join the podcast to share the story of their family history in business. You’ll hear about the companies they built alone, lessons passed across generations, and how Adam’s business has served Jan’s in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- How embracing the “fail forward” mindset can set you up to succeed - and what Adam learned from launching a business that fell $2 million into debt.
- Why so many entrepreneurs are “unhirable” in a traditional sense - and how this further inspires entrepreneurship.
- Why business owners need mentors in areas where they don’t succeed - and why Jan considers himself to be one of Adam’s worst clients.
- How dumb money follows smart money - and can become smart money again.
- Why being a one-person operation simply is not the definition of success.
