What’s up, everybody! Armand here. Welcome to The Playhard Podcast. A show where I talk to entrepreneurs about their habits and hobbies. Unlike most entrepreneurship podcasts, I focus on the entrepreneur. Weekly episodes include casual conversations, thoughtful questions, and a healthy balance of personal and professional stories. What entrepreneurs do to manage their stressful life fascinates me. My dad is a startup founder, I work at a startup, and I studied Entrepreneurship at Penn State. If you're interested in habits, hobbies, and entrepreneurs having fun, check out an episode!
