Business Minds Podcast Tim Grandjean

Dear podcast listeners, 

we are back again with another interview. This time I had the pleasure to speak with George McGehrin,  founder and president of the McGehrin Group, a talent acquisition, executive coaching and branding business based in New York City. 

From building healthy habits to business growth and proper networking, be prepared to get some next level insights in this episode. 
I really enjoyed this interview with George McGehrin. His energy and motivation paired with the passion for entrepreneurship and long years of experience made this a truly inspirational and fun conversation.

Looking at the startup scene today, we see that female founders are still very much underrepresented. In fact, Entrepreneur Magazine found out that 98% of capital funding still goes to male founders. 
Even though according to recent studies, female entrepreneurs often outperform their male counterparts in terms of job creation, generated revenue and leadership. 
Giving us some answers, why that is and what we can do about it, is my guest in today's episode, Val Racheeva. 
As the founder and CEO of the Female Founder Space - an online academy and community for female entrepreneurs - and author of the Female Founders Book, Val is bringing awareness to female entrepreneurship and offering a platform to learn and grow.

From working as a translator to owning a coworking space, John Neilan has come quite a long way to realize his dream many years ago. 
Staying true to the original idea of coworking, John has managed to create a space that feels both comfortable and productive with a caring community that stayed loyal even through the Covid-19 pandemic. 
I had the chance to interview John back in June, right after offices had slowly begun to reopen. In our interview, he shared his story of how he started his business and also gave some insight into the coworking industry as a whole. 

Tuesday Coworking currently has two locations:
1) Belziger Straße 69/71, close to the Schöneberg city hall. 
2) Feurigstraße 51, the original location, not far from the EUREF campus startup hub.
