Seth Farbman has spent two decades in the trenches, building companies from the ground up and navigating them through to successful sales. In Seth Farbman on Podcast-From Startup to Stock Exchange, he pulls back the curtain on that entire journey, offering a raw and practical look at what growth really demands. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a series of conversations rooted in the tangible highs and the inevitable rejections that define an entrepreneurial life. You'll hear what it's actually like to scale an idea conceived in a basement into an organization with over a hundred employees spread across multiple locations, a challenge Seth has lived firsthand. Drawing from his unique perspective of having serviced thousands of private and public companies, each episode delves into the operational, financial, and human realities of business building. The podcast moves beyond simple inspiration to explore the nuanced decisions, the personal resilience required, and the often-overlooked details of steering a venture from its fragile beginnings to the complexities of the public market. It's for anyone who wants to understand the substance behind the success stories, straight from someone who has repeatedly walked the path.
