    22: Teju Owoye on Tinkering Until You Get It Right

    22: Teju Owoye on Tinkering Until You Get It Right

    Have you ever started a business -- one that you absolutely love, but that has yet to make any money and that you can't quite figure out? Have you ever thought, maybe I'm not on the right track, or maybe I am, who's to say?!

     

    In this conversation with Teju Owoye, CEO of Sulte Group and host of Teju.TV, she tells about the importance of continuing to experiment until you get it right, whether that's with your current business or some other iteration of it. You want to have a plan, but you never know exactly how it's going to work out, because going from point A to point B rarely happens in the real world of entrepreneurship. Instead it's more like A, Z, X, K...and then who knows?

     

    Before figuring out what worked for her, Teju ended up going broke and moving back in with her parents. Her zig-zagged journey to discovering her own zone of genius included considering grad school, reading a ton of books, modeling the behavior of those who were doing what she wanted to to, and tinkering along the way. Another thing Teju did? Leapt! And on this episode she goes into the lessons she learned on the way down (and how she tried to make a parachute out of a straw and a watermelon).

     

    On this episode, you'll learn:

    Entrepreneurship is an art.Ask yourself some key questions to help you figure out what you're supposed to be doing.What do I feel like I should be contributing to the worldWho am I?What's the ideal day for you?Who's already doing what you want to do?What's the next best step you can take?When creating a product, determine what problem you're solving for your customer.

    Internationella storfräsare på besök - Teju Cole och Taiye Selasi

    Internationella storfräsare på besök - Teju Cole och Taiye Selasi

    Hur känns det när man tar livet av en känd romanfigur? Kan litteratur göra dig till en bättre människa? Och vad gör det svenska kungaparet i en amerikansk flanörroman? Marie Lundström går i närkamp med hyllade romandebutanten Teju Cole.

    Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

    Tayie Selasi var fyra år gammal när hon bestämde sig för att bli författare. Men det dröjde ändå trettio år innan boken var klar. Komma och gå heter hennes uppmärksammade debut, och Jenny Aschenbrenner har träffat henne. 

    Att jobba som översättare är inte alls ensamt! Det är inte ett "tragglande med texter"! Och kör man fast kan man få hjälp av "mannen på gatan". Möt Janina Orlov, som översatt bl a Sofi Oksanen och Katja Kettu till svenska från finska.

    Och så tittar vi lite närmare på läsplattan. Välkommen, du kära digitala tid - ge oss ögonblicklig tillgång till våra favoritförfattare, scanna vårt personliga behov av poesi, ge våra ögonrörelser den läsning vi behöver - kära läsplatta: Vad kan du egentligen göra för oss?
