My name is Andrey and I like creating and building

I’ve always been interested in bringing ideas to reality. I also always liked to work – to bring value, to be productive. My first full time job started when I was 17, I made property survey drawings. I co-founded and started running my first real company at 23, I was not ready. Through grit, some luck, and help of some wonderful people, we got to a million dollars in sales in 3 years. I then got an MBA and co-founded another company at 28. Both companies run today.

Continuing education

I find that anybody’s life and story has fascinating aspects in it, knowledge that can be passed on. If somebody built a company that brings $1 million in profit for them – how did he do it? What did it take? Somebody joined a family business and oversaw revenues triple – she must have exciting stories and insights. Another inherited a company making millions and went bust in 3 years – may be even more to learn from that story. The same can apply to leaders organizing around civic and other causes. I want to explore the stories of those who took a chance on building or creating something - learn from them and make them heard. So, this podcast is about the “other” entrepreneurs, the 99%. I hope you enjoy their stories.
