Entrepreneurs Corner Podcast
Real Stories. Real Lessons. Real Growth.
Entrepreneurs’ Corner Podcast is where host John Misarti sits down with entrepreneurs and business owners for honest conversations about what it really takes to build something of their own.
Each episode goes beyond the highlight reel to explore the real journey behind the business — how it started, the challenges along the way, the decisions that shaped it, the lessons learned, and what comes next.
From local business owners and service-based entrepreneurs to founders, operators, and online business owners, every guest brings a different story and perspective.
These aren’t polished success stories or scripted interviews. They’re real conversations about the wins, setbacks, mistakes, growth, and experiences that come with entrepreneurship.
If you’re building a business, thinking about starting one, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind the people who make businesses happen, Entrepreneurs’ Corner Podcast is for you.
New conversations. New perspectives. Real entrepreneurs.
