I'm excited about this episode for a few reasons!
1. I get to share my story about how I went from Mississippi to Grenoble, and and how I became an entrepreneur
2. I'm in the hotseat! Sara, an entrepreneur friend here in Grenoble is asking me the questions!
3. It's my first (and surely not my last!) video in the PodPreneurs studio here in Grenoble! It just opened, so check them out!
We discuss the differences between the French and American mindsets, the challenges French entrepreneurs face when entering the American market, and the importance of language and cultural understanding.
You'll also get tips for working with Americans and why you need flexibility, solution-oriented thinking, and a positive mindset.
To finish, we talk about the perception of failure in France and the US, and the importance of practicing and embracing one's accent when learning English.
Takeaways
