Hosted by Angus Pauley, the Startup Dunedin Podcast pulls up a chair with the people building things in the deep south and beyond. This isn't about polished, theoretical success; it's about the real grind. Each conversation digs into the specific tactics a founder used to secure funding, the exact tool that saved an expert hours each week, or the personal routine that kept someone going after a major setback. You'll hear war stories from early failures that shaped a better approach, and success stories that reveal what actually worked when the pressure was on. The aim is to move beyond simple inspiration, offering tangible lessons you can apply to your own path. Tuning into this podcast feels like getting direct, unfiltered advice from someone who's been in the trenches, all focused on the practical takeaways from a personal or professional journey. It’s a resource for anyone in the business world looking to learn from the lived experiences of others, one honest conversation at a time.
