What is the Inverse Entrepreneur Effect?
August 08, 2023

In episode #2529, we take a look at a new concept known as the inverse entrepreneur effect. This concept of business implies that your regular hierarchical pyramid is flipped upside-down. With the creator or brand on the bottom, they build upward with positions and people they need as the business grows. Join us as we take a look at the trouble with this new creator economy and explore the idea of reversing the upside-down pyramid to prevent your business from becoming reliant on one person, negating the Key Man Risk. For more insights and practical takeaways, tune in now.
