  • Hello and welcome to the Entrepreneurs on Monocle Radio.

  • The show all about inspiring people, innovative companies and fresh ideas in global business.

  • Today's program is a book special.

  • First we'll meet a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist who who wants to help women unlock capital and scale their businesses.

  • Building a big business is not about what you can handle, what you can do, it's about the big ideas that you can have and bringing people together to pull them off.

  • And later we'll hear from an entrepreneur who wrote the book literally on mastering that all important work life balance.

  • A very simple framework that I use for this is called you need a map to know where to go.

  • And a map stands for the three things that you need in order to figure this out, which is meaning anchors and priorities.

  • This is the Entrepreneurs with me, Tom Edwards.

  • You're listening to the Entrepreneurs now.

  • Our first guest wears many hats.

  • Sarah Dusek is an entrepreneur, an investor, an activist, a mother.

  • With several successful businesses under her belt, Sarah is dedicated to helping women tackle disparities head on and secure the funding needed to create impactful large scale ventures that make a real difference.

  • Her new book, Thinking Bigger, aims to help women do just that by giving them insights into unlocking capital.

  • And it's a newly minted number one bestseller on Amazon.

  • Sarah stopped by Midori House to talk about the book and she began by telling me what prompted her to start writing.

  • When I was building my first big business that I managed to sell for a lot of zeros in 2018, I had enormous trouble trying to raise capital.

  • And so the challenge as a female entrepreneur, not just to grow and build a big business, to put the capital in to fuel the growth of a big business was really hard.

  • And I found the venture capital industry quite offensive, to be honest.

  • And the struggle to find like minded people who wanted me to win and who wanted them to win was tough.
