"If you are that ambitious generalist, that wants to actually do things and build quickly, then start-ups are for you"

In today's episode of Profit Meets Purpose I was joined by Peter Wood from the Graduate Guide. 

We spoke about all things working in the startup world, the doors it can open, the ambition it can spark, and the opportunity to work on something real, fast, and with influence.

This one’s for anyone thinking about joining the startup world, and why it might be the best decision you make.

We discuss how his podcast turned into a company, why you have absolutely nothing to lose by asking Google to come on your non-existent podcast, and why thinking about your skills is often more useful than trying to pick a perfect job title.

Peter shares why being a bit of a generalist is actually a strength, how graduates can bring real value to early-stage companies, and what it means to back yourself even when you’re not 100% sure how it’ll work out.

We also touch on:

• How to get hired by a startup

• Why curiosity gets you further than confidence
