Startup Stories - Mixergy show

Summary: There is one proven method I’ve noticed from interviewing successful founders. It’s a process that starts with understanding a customer’s pain and then addressing that pain. That’s what today’s guest did. He started a consulting company, found a problem his clients had and then found a way to solve it on a repeatable basis. Boom—he launched his company and it took off. But then the internet imploded. We’re going to hear the story of how he found his customer’s pain, how the market screwed him over, and how he recovered from it.
