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.

[74]The Startup Entrepreneur Who Solved The Alcohol Morning-After Effects
"I didn't start a company to cure hangovers...there was this incredible technology that allows us to engineer a bacteria to perform a function that people will benefit from."
Join me for an exciting conversation with a young scientist with a Ph.D. in microbiology. We'll discuss his journey into entrepreneurship and his mission to utilize science and the body's natural processes to enhance lives. Specifically, we'll dive into his work on developing a remedy for the effects of excessive alcohol consumption or a hangover.
Zach openly discusses why he became an entrepreneur despite negative publicity and marketing against genetic engineering. He shares his business startup challenges, including raising money, scaling, and building a solid team (emphasizing the need for a co-founder who complements his lack of business knowledge).
Highlights:
☛ Why is our microbiome so underrated?
☛ How ZBiotics aims to change perceptions of GMOs (Genetically Modified
Organisms) by creating products people want and understand.
☛ Genetically engineered probiotics can provide specific health benefits, such as
breaking down alcohol byproducts.
☛ The science behind alcohol metabolism.
☛ Zach's decisive moment about becoming an entrepreneur.
☛ The source of the stigma associated with genetic engineering.
☛ Building a solid partnership with trust and open communication is essential for
startup success.
☛ Zach's takeaways on start-up challenges.
☛ The key to surviving and thriving against the odds.
