The Entrepreneur Standard
How Exceptional Entrepreneurs Think, Perform & Build
Candid conversations with accomplished entrepreneurs about how they think, the standards they operate by, the decisions that shaped them, and what it takes to build and perform at a high level.
The Conversation
What separates exceptional entrepreneurs from everyone else?
The Entrepreneur Standard explores how accomplished founders, business owners, operators and leaders think, make decisions, respond to setbacks, build companies, and perform under pressure.
Hosted by Rich Fournier, founder of EPN™, each conversation goes beyond the surface-level success story to uncover the standards, habits, beliefs, decisions, failures and turning points that shaped the person behind the business.
The goal is simple: to understand what high-performing entrepreneurs do differently, what they have learned the hard way, and what other entrepreneurs can apply to their own businesses and lives.
