The power of iterations and failure, with Renier Kriel
Renier is an example of the entrepreneurial spirit that we are looking to grow within ourselves. He tackles the risks just one little step at a time. And he plays in the space of not knowing so that he’s always open to learning, and encourages us to fail as many times as we need to in order to learn what it is we’re trying to do. In this episode Renier shares about his own entrepreneurial growth, as well as what do you sees in the startup entrepreneurs he helps as a startup mentor.
Startup Resource: Renier explains how his newsletter The Open Letter can help you to find ideas for startups, as well as the tools you need to be successful. He also offers a valuable podcast “How would you build it?” exposing us to the stories of South African startups, tech and business.
