Episode description
In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Sean Boyce, founder of Nxt Step Consulting.
Sean reflects on his roots in Philadelphia, the impact of his education and network on his entrepreneurial spirit, and the lessons learned from his early attempts at business. Sean talks about his first business, an endeavor aimed at solving issues in the recruiting industry, and the pivotal lessons he gained from its relative lack of success.
Sean shares insights into the common mistake of not focusing on product-market fit and emphasizes the importance of falling in love with the problem rather than leading with the solution. Sean also shares the evolution from unsuccessful ventures to the successful launch of Staff Geek, a B2B SaaS product addressing workforce-related challenges. He highlights the prevalence of these challenges among entrepreneurs and provides valuable advice on avoiding pitfalls.
In addition, Sean's current focus is on podcasting through his service, Podcast Chef, and his involvement in innovative projects to support and guide early-stage founders in bringing their products to market.
Join us in another exciting episode of The First Customer as Sean Boyce's entrepreneurial journey reveals insights and lessons to inspire your own success story!
