What makes a great founder?

Alex Chisnall, podcast host of iTunes top 100 show "Screw it, Just do it", converses with Antler's CEO Magnus Grimeland for its 137th episode.

In the episode, we get to hear Magnus discuss how he and his team aim to support entrepreneurs whom dream of creating businesses that strive to have a positive impact on the world, all through the Antler program and its global network.

As Alex Chisnell put it: “I genuinely think that this business, with Magnus driving it alongside his incredibly talented team, has the potential to change the world in the same way that Airbnb, Uber or even Apple has done.”

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Tune into the podcast to learn more about this and his thoughts on what makes a great entrepreneur.
