🌈Escape 9-5: Dream Big, Win Bigger!

THEJAMESCASTS

Welcome to our latest podcast episode, with me, James Piecowye, and my incredible guests, Craig and Ian Fernandes, we dive deep into the world of entrepreneurship, dreams, and the power of scholarships.

🚀 In this episode, we share the journey of transforming SecureMyScholarship.com from a mere concept into a reality, pivoting from the initial venture, Lock&Stock, to an ed-tech platform that is changing how students interact with scholarships. 🎓

Ian and Craig talk about the unique father-son dynamic that has fueled their venture, their challenges, and how they’ve navigated the complex landscape of starting and scaling a business in the tech world. 🌐 Additionally, they share insights into my personal shift from "playing to win" to "playing not to lose" in Ian's career, a realization that propelled him towards entrepreneurship and ultimately, towards finding a more fulfilling path. 🛤️

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

1. The importance of pivoting and adapting to change in entrepreneurship.
2. The power of a supportive family dynamic in overcoming business challenges.
3. Maintaining mental health and wellness is crucial, not just for students but for entrepreneurs as well.

Tune in to be inspired, learn, and get a glimpse into the entrepreneurial journey of pivoting resilience and the pursuit of passion. Let’s make dreams happen together! ✨
