Welcome to Let's Talk Startups, the podcast that brings you inspiring, hardworking, and passionate founders who are making waves in the entrepreneurial world. In this episode, we're thrilled to have Ollie Austin, co-founder of Startup 2 Standup, joining us for an insightful conversation.

At Let's Talk Startups, we believe in the power of community, and we're proud to have Ollie as our guest. We share a mission to do more for founders and provide them with the support they need to thrive.

During our conversation, we explore the importance of community for founders who may feel isolated. Ollie shares his personal experience of how being part of a peer-to-peer group, such as Vistage, transformed his life and equipped him with invaluable skills.

We also delve into the contrasting perspectives between American and UK founders when it comes to embracing the power of joining communities. Is there something we need to change in founders' mindsets to foster a stronger startup ecosystem?

Join us as we unravel the reasons behind the US's enthusiastic reception of the peer-to-peer format, exploring cultural nuances and other factors that contribute to its popularity. We're determined to uncover the secrets behind their success.

Loneliness is a common struggle for founders, and we discuss whether having a co-founder or a trusted network is the best solution. Ollie highlights the importance of removing barriers and building connections that go beyond a single co-founder's expertise.

In our inspiring conversation, Ollie emphasizes the values that founders should embody: being considerate, grateful for the opportunities, and actively contributing to the community. As a listener, we encourage you to share this episode with your network and enjoy the wealth of startup content we have in store for you.

Tune in to Let's Talk Startups and get ready to be inspired. Together, we can create a supportive and thriving startup community.
