The Entrepreneur Next Door 🏡
My name is Zev Asch; welcome to The Entrepreneur Next Door Podcast. I've spent my entire career in what I call "the trenches of small business and entrepreneurship." I spent three decades as a successful corporate marketing executive in small and family-owned businesses, an academic career as a Graduate Marketing Professor and director of Entrepreneurship and leadership at Touro University Graduate School of Business, and over a decade as a business transformation coach.
As an avid podcast listener, I've always craved one that features unknown, grounded non-celebrities and entrepreneurs who can be my next-door neighbors.
Join me for intimate, unfiltered conversations with everyday people who took a leap into entrepreneurship and openly share their journey from failure to success. I spend hours preparing for each interview and asking intimate and challenging questions; one insight can make a profound difference in your business or life.
Finally, I promise that my podcast will never be used as a platform for me or my guests to self-promote. I strictly prohibit it and ensure each guest understands before being featured on my show.
My goal is to ensure that every episode delivers at least one insight that can help you improve your business or one aspect of your personal life.
Listen, subscribe, and share this channel with my thanks.

[51] STEVE WARE: "I Never Set Out To Help Anybody Other Than Myself."
Have you ever worked for a company that had an active program to improve the well-being of its employees? I'm not talking about just a standard medical plan but ongoing resources that help you deal with stress, anxiety, and other obstacles that can hinder personal and professional fulfillment.
If you did, you're lucky and one of a select few who never felt alone at work.
Meet Steve Ware, a plain-spoken, unpretentious bloke (a UK term for a simple guy) who shares how he picked his favorite football (soccer) team, discovered mindfulness, and his mission to impact workplace happiness and productivity.
Here are a few highlights from our fun but severe conversation:
- The simple answer to "How did you wind up working for IBM for 28 years?"
- What in the world is mindfulness?
- Steve's quick and straightforward tip on starting with mindfulness?
- Steve's coaching for skeptics about what mindfulness means and how, or if, it works.
