Advice Line with Pete Maldonado of Chomps (April 2024)

Hey, it's Guy here. The team and I are taking a little summer break this week, and so we thought we'd replay one of our favorite advice line episodes from earlier this year. One of the reasons I love the advice line so much is that I get to talk to early stage entrepreneurs from All over the world, representing so many industries, from food to cosmetics, clothing to home goods. And together with some of your favorite past guests from how I built this. We answer questions about fundraising, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, hiring, and lots more. And we've got some incredible guests lined up for the summer. So stick around, take a listen, and let us know what you think of this new Thursday edition of the show. You can reach us at H IBT at ID. dot wondery dot com or leave us a review on your podcast app and
