[Ep #212] A Tech Entrepreneur’s Small Business War Story

Topic:  A Tech Entrepreneur’s Small Business War Story

Joining me today is Pablo Fuentes.

Pablo started his company Proven.com when he was in business school at Stanford in 2009. He tried eight different business models before finding growth and profitability as a small business hiring software tool. He is the host of Small Business War Stories – a podcast where he travels around the US interviewing small business people in person.

On today’s show Pablo is going to share:

  • Resilience: He went from a successful finance career to getting millions in funding for his company to having to let go of his entire staff in one day, going from 15 to 2 people;
  • Mental health: small business and startups can be very taxing on a person’s mental health, so Pablo is going to share how he keeps his balance;
  • SEO: Pablo shares some of the link-building strategies that allowed him to take their blog traffic from 50 monthly readers to 50,000 monthly readers in 20 months.
